Exercise 8

Describe how the Wingate test is used to assess anaerobic power.

Step 1 of 4

Wingate test is a short-term anaerobic power determination test developed by researchers at Wingate Institute in Israel. It is a maximal effort cycling test to determine both peak anaerobic power and mean power output over the 30-second test. The test is reliable and reproducible means to evaluate anaerobic power output in cyclists.
