The
Wingate Anaerobic Test is a measure of anaerobic power. The Wingate
test is performed on a Velotron High Perfomance Test Bike that can be weighted with
resistance based on a percentage of your body weight for an all out 30
second sprint. The test can measure:
-
Peak power, which is the highest mechanical power that is elicited during the test
-
Mean power that corresponds to, the average power sustained throughout the 30 second period.
-
Percent
fatigue, the degree of power drop off during the test. The decline in
power output from the beginning to the end of the test represents this
percent fatigue. This fatigue can be an indicator of anaerobic power. A
high peak power and a low fatigue factor may indicate a person with good
anaerobic power.
