Summary

This study will investigate the acute effects of two squat-based post-activation performance enhancement (PAPE) protocols-moderate load (80% of 6RM) and maximal load (100% of 1RM)-on judo-specific performance in elite male judokas. A total of 20 national-level male judokas will participate in a randomized, counterbalanced protocol across a 3-week period. Each participant will complete standard and experimental warm-up sessions followed by the Special Judo Fitness Test. Outcome measures will include total throws, immediate and 1-minute post-exercise heart rates, and the performance index. The study aims to determine the optimal PAPE intensity for enhancing performance while minimizing fatigue in combat sport athletes.

warm up

1. Standard Warm-Up (SWU): This condition will involve a typical judo-specific warm-up protocol lasting approximately 25 minutes. 2. Moderate-Load PAPE Warm-Up (80% of 6RM): This experimental warm-up condition will consist of the same initial exercises as the SWU, followed by the addition of a moderate-load squat-based PAPE protocol. 3. Maximal-Load PAPE Warm-Up (100% of 1RM): This condition will also begin with the same general and judo-specific exercises as the SWU, followed by a high-intensity PAPE protocol: 1-2 sets of a single repetition of back squats at 100% of the participant's 1-repetition maximum (1RM).
