Wingate Anaerobic Test

The Wingate Anaerobic Test (WAnT), commonly dubbed as Wingate Test, is one of the anaerobe test procedures in performance diagnostics. The athlete is tested for 30 seconds in dependence of the rotation speed (revs per minute) and in relation to his/her body weight. The maximum power (peak power) is reached at the achieved maximum cadence. After passing the performance peak a steady performance decrease can be verified until the end of the test. The peak power ought to be identical with the maximum alaktacide performance. The test procedure must show a dependency of the test results on the test duration and on the preset load.

  • Peak Power
  • Anaerobic Power
  • Mean Power
  • Anaerobic Capacity
  • Fatigue Index

The test is specifically applied in competitive sports testing anaerobe trained athletes like track cyclists, speed skaters and ice hockey players. It is furthermore used in rehabilitation to monitor the muscle growth. The Cyclus2 ergometer provides excellent functionality for carrying out the Wingate Anaerobic Test. All test parameters can be easily and user-friendly set in the configuration window for the Wingate Anaerobic Test.

The load can be defined as relative in relation to the test person’s body weight or as absolute setting of the pedal force. The cadence serves as start parameter. The test person decides when to start the test. The test person gradually increases speed and on reaching the preset target cadence starts an explosive acceleration. When the test is finished the results of the analysis are shown on the display.

The Cyclus2 provides easy and direct printing of the results via a connected printer. The logo of the institute or medical practise can be placed in the upper right corner of the print-out.
