The individual mean (±SD) Pmax (a) and JH (b) of 8 DJs under the control (CON; black squares/bars) and PAP (HOP; gray squares/bars) condition. Pmax revealed higher values in the same 3 athletes that exhibited higher rebound jump heights in the HOP condition. In athlete E, Pmax curtly failed to reach the level of significance (p = 0.05). Percentage differences related to the control condition are depicted above the bars of each single athlete. Asterix indicating significant within-subject differences (* p < 0.05 and ** p < 0.01) between CON and HOP. Nota bene, JH increased in each single athlete after the conditioning stimulus, however it was significant only in 3 out of 5
