Hello everyone, my name is Asher. Me and a fellow kinesiology student are looking for participants for our research study, and we need your help! If you’d like to volunteer, please fill out this Google Form giving consent to participate.
The study consists of three vertical jumps followed by a Wingate anaerobic test followed by another three vertical jumps. Our goal is to see if we can find an optimal time for post-activation potentiation (PAP). If you’re a kinesiology student and need added incentive, Amanda said she might offer some extra credit.
If you have questions, contact me at atroxell21@georgefox.edu.
We would really appreciate your help.
