Norms for the Wingate anaerobic test with comparison to another similar test.

This study was undertaken in order to develop norms for the Wingate test for physically active young men and women, and also to compare mean power measures obtained from the Wingate test with those obtained from another similar cycle ergometer test. A total of 112 males and 74 females aged 18 to 28 years comprised the subject pool. Data collected from the Wingate test included mean power for 30 s, peak power for 5 s, and a percent fatigue index. Data from the second test (Katch test) included mean power for both 30 s and 40 s. Percentile norms and descriptive statistics were generated as were multiple regression equations for prediction of mean power between the two different tests. Correlations between the two tests ranged from .66 to .87. Comparisons among data derived from this study and those reported for other athletic groups are also given.
