The MEB protocol induced a rapid potentiation response, demonstrating moderate effect sizes in CMJ height and PPO as early as 3 minutes post-activation. In contrast, the HBS protocol exhibited delayed potentiation, with improvements appearing only after 9 minutes, likely due to residual fatigue.ConclusionMulti-dimensional elastic resistance is a time-efficient alternative for inducing Post-activation Performance Enhancement (PAPE), offering a rapid onset of practical potentiation (within 3 min) based on effect size analysis. These findings suggest MEB is particularly suitable for pre-competition warm-ups where recovery time is severely constrained.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphys.2026.1828195 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphys.2026.1828195 2026-05-13T00:00:00Z Original Research Priscilla AvaltroniYury IvanenkoMargherita VillaniGiulia ScordoFrancesca Sylos-LabiniAlessandra MediciCarla AssenzaDaniela MorelliFrancesco LacquanitiGermana Cappellini https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphys.2026.1834329 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphys.2026.1834329 2026-05-13T00:00:00Z Original Research Anna KasperskaHanna DziewieckaWojciech JankowskiTomasz MikulskiIreneusz CzerniecAnna Skarpańska-StejbornJoanna Ostapiuk-Karolczuk https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphys.2026.1810393 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphys.2026.1810393 2026-05-12T00:00:00Z Original Research Lei ZhangHanyi LiQiang WeiYoulin XiaoQin Gao https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphys.2026.1798606 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphys.2026.1798606 2026-05-12T00:00:00Z Original Research Ji ZhuJiale WangHuangkun ChenMing LiYanlin WangYihan Hu 0.05). No significant interactions were found for YBT, FMS, or other isokinetic variables (all p > 0.05).ConclusionEight weeks of FST, with or without BFR, was associated with significant improvements over time in isokinetic strength, movement quality, and dynamic balance in male college sprinters; however, in the absence of a no-intervention control group, these improvements cannot be directly attributed to the FST programme itself. The addition of BFR provided an additional benefit only for average power during the Wingate test.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphys.2026.1805547 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphys.2026.1805547 2026-05-11T00:00:00Z Systematic Review Zixuan PengLu PengWei SunXuan LiuMiaomiao ZhouMeizhu ChenJiacheng RenAona ChenChenggen Guo 30 minutes and exercise bouts lasted >3 minutes. Meta-regression analyses further identified sample size and body mass index as significant moderators of fasting plasma glucose and triglycerides levels.ConclusionModerate-to-low-intensity exercise combined with exercise snacks significantly improved fasting plasma glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in sedentary adults, but had no significant effects on fasting insulin or high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. Moreover, walking, exercising more than five times per day, and maintaining the intervention for 1 to 3 weeks may be associated with greater improvements in glucose and lipid metabolism in this population.Systematic review registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/, identifier CRD420251090803.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphys.2026.1789909 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphys.2026.1789909 2026-05-08T00:00:00Z Original Research Di WangMoran LyuZhiheng LiMing LiYuliu TaoAisong Zhu https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphys.2026.1793768 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphys.2026.1793768 2026-05-08T00:00:00Z Original Research Zhuo ChenXue WangXiaodong Mei https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphys.2026.1822610 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphys.2026.1822610 2026-05-08T00:00:00Z Original Research Hongjian QuHong WangLei ZhaoRui Sun 0.05).
