The Wingate Anaerobic Test
The Wingate test is a 30-second all-out effort on a cycle ergometer used to measure anaerobic power and capacity.
Key Metrics
Mean Power = Total Work / 30 seconds
Fatigue Index = (Peak Power - Lowest Power) / Peak Power x 100%
Peak power reflects phosphocreatine (PCr) system capacity, mean power reflects glycolytic capacity, and fatigue index shows how well power is sustained.
Example Calculation
A 75 kg athlete records 900 W peak, 500 W minimum, and 21,000 J total work.
- 01Mean power = 21,000 / 30 = 700 W
- 02Fatigue index = (900 - 500) / 900 x 100 = 44.4%
- 03Relative peak power = 900 / 75 = 12.0 W/kg
- 04Relative mean power = 700 / 75 = 9.3 W/kg
