Sumario:The letter provides insights on a review article discussing post-activation performance enhancement (PAPE) and commends the authors for their comprehensive frameworks. It highlights two key aspects: the need for specific recovery intervals between verification tests based on the nature of the test, and the potential effectiveness of a self-selected interval method for optimizing rest periods in elite athletes. The authors advocate for further research into these areas to enhance the understanding and application of PAPE in athletic settings.
