A Comparison Between The Wingate Anaerobic Test And Right Knee Extension Power, Sarah Beckman

Kinesiology Student Research

INTRODUCTION: Anaerobic power is maximal power developed during utmost, short term physical effort. Anaerobic activities use energy that is stored in muscles and that can be accessed without the use of oxygen. Power is measured in watts (W) and relative power is measured by watts per kilogram of body weight (W/kg). Research shows that there are correlations between Wingate power and other anaerobic activities such as field tests, vertical jumping, and cycling tests. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine the differences and similarities of the Wingate anaerobic power test (WAnT) and right knee extension power as measured …
