Description: |
The Wingate test requires the subject to pedal a mechanically braked bicycle ergometer (an arm ergometer can also be used), for 30 seconds, at an “all out” pace. A counter is used to record revolutions of the flywheel in 5-second intervals (alternatively, some bikes are equipped with a watt meter). Although the actual Wingate test is performed in a 30-second time span, the individual is advised to complete a warm-up (3-5 minutes), followed by a recovery cool down (2-5 minutes). On commencing the test (usually by a verbal signal from the tester), the individual pedals “all out” with little to no resistance. Within 3 seconds, the predetermined fixed resistance is applied to the flywheel and remains there for the duration of the 30-second test. For the Monark ergometers we use in lab, you will need to manually record the watt readings at every 5 seconds, for the duration of the test and transfer them to your performance sheet: Performance Data Collection Resistance Test Scores
