A New Single Workbout Test To Estimate Critical Power And Anaerobic Work Capacity, Haley Bergstrom
Department of Nutrition and Health Sciences: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
The purpose of the present study was to develop a new 3-min, single workbout test to estimate critical power (CP) and anaerobic work capacity (AWC) using the Monark cycle ergometer with the resistance based on the individual’s body weight. Twelve moderately-trained adults (6 men and 6 women; mean age ± SD = 23.2 ± 3.5 yr) performed an incremental cycle ergometer test to exhaustion. The CP and AWC were estimated from the original work limit (Wlim) versus time limit (Tlim) relationship (CPPT) and a 3-min all-out test (CP3min) against a fixed resistance …
