Abstract
Sportsmen and coaches make use of the newest and latest training protocols at the highest level of sports and by the same token try to attain to their highest level of performance through taking safe and prrmissed supplements. Based on this, the new science is at the service of searching the best training and nutritional protocols to maximize utilization of the athletes' performance . The present research is aimed at investigating the effect of post-activation potentiation (PAP) and caffeine supplementation on aerobic capacity indicators such as VO2max, Vvo2max, TTE and RPE. Selected voluntarily and purposefully, the participents of this research were 10 male endurance runners. Conducted cross-sectionally with a group, the type of this research is semi-experimental and applied. Consequencing a familiarization session and measuring the anthropometric characteristics, the participents were familiarized with the research method. After that, they were randomly examined in 4 positions including: control, PAP, caffeine, PAP + caffeine. In order to measure the aerobic capacity of the samples, Bruce incremental test was employed. After gathering the data and conducive to analyze the data, SPSS software version 23 and ANOVA statistical test with repeated measurement at the significance level of P<0.05 was applied. By and large, the findings of this research indicated that applying the PAP warm-up protocol with or without caffeine posed no significant effect on Vvo2max and Vo2max related to endurance runners, but a significant effect on RPE and TTE variables was detected. Totally saying, the findings affirmed that though the simultaneous usage of caffeine and PAP pose significant effects on decrementing the perceived performance, it does not impose more barefaced effects on Vo2max and TTE performance parameters in comparison with the use of caffeine singly consumption.
