🧨Post-activation potentiation (PAP✴️) is a well-described phenomenon with a short half-life⏱(~28 sec) that enhances💥 muscle force production at submaximal levels of calcium saturation (i.e., submaximal levels of muscle activation). It has been largely explained by an increased ⬆️ myosin light chain phosphorylation occurring in type II (⚡️fast twitch⚡️) muscle fibers, and its effects have been quantified in humans by measuring muscle twitch force responses to a bout of muscular activity.
However, enhancements in (sometimes maximal) voluntary force production detected several minutes after high-intensity muscle contractions are also observed, which are also most prominent in muscles with a high proportion of type II (⚡️fast twitch⚡️) fibers.
