Hi everyone, I would have to say that performing a hip-thrust strength exercise has gained a lot of popularity in recent years. I would have to say that I enjoy programming it for athletes that I train and that its a great exercise to perform where they can lift a heavy load without excessive axial loading on the body (as with a squat). Therefore considering it as a PAP activity prior to sprinting provides an interesting concept for consideration. So today's article I review is: Hip thrust-based PAP effects on sprint performance of soccer players: heavy-loaded versusoptimum-power development protocols. Dello Iacono A1,2, Seitz LB3.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the acute effects of two barbell hip thrust-based post-activation potentiation (PAP) protocols on subsequent sprint performance. Using a crossover design, eighteen soccer athletes performed 5 m, 10 m, and 20 m sprints before and 15 s, 4 min, and 8 min after two PAP protocols. The PAP conditioning activities consisted of hip thrust exercises loaded with either 85% 1RM or a load for optimum power development. The resulting 5 m and 10 m sprint performances were impaired at 15 s following both protocols. At 4 min and 8 min, meaningful improvements were observed for the three sprint distances following both of the protocols. Meaningful differences were found when comparing the two PAPs over time: greater impairments in 5 m and 10 m following the 85% of 1 RM protocol after 15 s, and greater improvements in all sprint distances after 4 min and 8 min following the optimum powerdevelopment protocol. Positive correlations between the hip thrust's 1RM and power values and the overall individual PAP responses were found. This investigation showed that both heavy-loaded and optimum-power hip thrust exercises can induce a PAP response, with the optimum-power development protocol preferred due its higher efficiency.
