The Effect of Differing Potentiation Modalities on Acute Performance in Collegiate Athletes
Joshua Kevin Watson
ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, Concordia University Chicago
Acute athletic performance differences may ultimately decide what teams or individuals are successful in competition. The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of a novel acupressure modality in comparison to a dynamic warm-up and contrast training on acute athletic performance in National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) collegiate athletes. Nine collegiate athletes were involved in the study and completed four different potentiation protocols: control (cycling), contrast training, dynamic warm-up, and acupressure (RPR). The participants completed each protocol on separate days before performing a countermovement jump, which assessed mean peak displacement, acceleration, velocity, and power on a force plate, and a T-test, which assessed change of direction performance. A repeated measures ANOVA was used to assess interactions and main effects between the protocols. A significant main effect was found when comparing mean peak displacement, velocity, and power between the dynamic warm-up and acupressure protocols. There was also a significant main effect when comparing mean peak power between the dynamic warm-up and control protocols. Practitioners may use this information to optimize acute performance by using a dynamic warm-up before training or competition.
