摘要:The purpose of this study was to determine if implementing a heavy DL warm up (PAP) can improve hang power clean (HPC) performance. Secondarily, it was of interest to determine if there was a meaningful relationship between the DL and HPC one repetition maximums (1-RM). Twelve avid recreational lifters participated in the study (female: n=5, age=29.0±3.2 yrs, height= 171.7±11.9 cm, mass=67.9±20.6 kgs and male: n=7, age=28.9±3.6 yrs, height=178.9±7.6 cm, mass=88.4±11.6 kgs). Participants met on three occasions separated by one week. During week 1 participants established a 1-RM DL. Week 2 half of the participants completed 1-RM HPC, while the other half of the participants completed a 1-RM HPC preceded by a PAP warm-up executed with sets of DLs culminating with one set of one repetition at 90% of 1-RM. Week 3 the participants crossed over with respect to performing the PAP warm-up. A paired t-test was used to compare the mean 1-RM HPCs between conditions and a Pearson correlation coefficient (r) was calculated to compare 1-RM DLs with 1-RM HPCs. The 1-RM hang HPC was significantly greater (≈3.0%) following the DL PAP warm-up (p
