This study aimed to investigate the effect of post-activation potentiation produced by squat exercises performed with different phase durations on vertical jump performance. Fourteen males took part in this study. Back squat at 85% of 1RM with different eccentric and concentric phase durations was performed by the participants. Participants completed four conditions: 1) Long eccentric phase (E), 2) Long concentric phase (C), 3) Equal eccentric-concentric phase durations (EQ), and 4) Control (CONT) condition. Vertical jump tests were performed before and 30 seconds, 3, 6, and 9 minutes after the squat exercises. In the statistical analyses, a two-way repeated-measures ANOVA was performed to examine the effects of squat conditions on jump height. Post-hoc pairwise comparisons with Bonferroni adjustment were performed to examine the interaction effect. A significant difference was found in the vertical jump performance at the 30th second, 3rd, and 6th minutes between the C and the CONT conditions (p
