IJERPH, Vol. 20, Pages 4316: Variable Resistance—An Efficient Method to Generate Muscle Potentiation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health doi: 10.3390/ijerph20054316 Authors: Álvaro Huerta Ojeda Claudio Cifuentes Zapata Guillermo Barahona-Fuentes María-Mercedes Yeomans-Cabrera Luis Javier Chirosa-Ríos Variable resistance (VR) is a methodology that has shown good results in developing muscular strength and power. However, no updated information relates to the use of VR as an activation to trigger post-activation performance enhancement (PAPE). The primary objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to review and qualitatively describe studies published between 2012 and 2022 that used VR to generate PAPE in muscle power-dominant sports. The secondary objective was to calculate the effect size of the different power outcomes reported in the selected studies. The search was designed following the PRISMA® guidelines for systematic reviews and meta-analyses and performed in the Web of Science (WOS), Scopus, SPORTDiscus, PubMed, and MEDLINE between 2012 and 2022. The methodological quality and risk of bias were evaluated with the Cochrane Collaboration tool. The main variables were the throwing speed, time in sprint tests, and jump height. The analysis was conducted with a pooled standardized mean difference (SMD) through a Hedges’ g test (95% CI)....
