I believe that the increased phosphorylation can increase muscle force production by increasing the muscle's sensitivity to calcium. Muscle performance depends on the balance of post-activation potentiation and fatigue. Post-activation refers to a short-term improvement in performance as a result of using a conditioning exercise.
