  1. The data are presented as median (interquartile range); CON: the non-activation control condition; DYN: dynamic activation; ISO: isometric activation; BSQ: back squat activation; PRE: pre-activation; POST 4: post-activation at 4 minutes; POST 8: post-activation at 8 minutes; POST 12: post-activation at 12 minutes; TT: 62.5-metre time trial; PPO: peak power output; PT: peak torque; f: Cohen’s f greater than 0.40 was considered large, between 0.40 and 0.25 was categorised as medium, between 0.25 and 0.10 was considered small, and less than 0.10 was deemed insignificant; * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01 for differences between conditions.
