I am currently investigating factors which would enhance the maximum
mechanical power production of skeletal muscle. Several athletes have
anecdotally reported that the performance of heavy weight lifting e.g. squat
enhances subsequent powerful muscle contractions e.g. vertical jump.
Can anyone tell me if there has been any research examining this phenomenon
and what mechanisms or where I could find out about the possible mechanisms
which produce this effect?
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Regards
