Chen, L, Davison, SW, Selimovic, EA, Mueller, RE, Beatty, SR, Carter, KA, Parmar, PJ, Symons, TB, Pantalos, GM, and Caruso, JF. Load-power relationships for high-speed knee extension exercise. J Strength Cond Res 33(6): 1480-1487, 2019-Seventy subjects did 4 knee extensor workouts with their left legs to assess load-power relationships produced on a high-speed trainer (HST; Newnan, GA, USA).

Muscular and Neural Contributions to Postactivation Potentiation.

Wallace, BJ, Shapiro, R, Wallace, KL, Abel, MG, and Symons, TB. Muscular and neural contributions to postactivation potentiation. J Strength Cond Res 33(3): 615-625, 2019-This study's purpose was to explain the relationship between muscle factors (twitch potentiation [TP]) and neural factors (reflex potentiation) contributing to total postactivation potentiation (PAP) that couples these.

The effect of a novel tactical training program on physical fitness and occupational performance in firefighters.

Structural firefighting is a dangerous and physically demanding profession. Thus, it is critical that firefighters exercise regularly to maintain optimal physical fitness levels. However, little is known about optimal training methods for firefighters, and exercise equipment is often not available to on-duty firefighters.
