Document Summary
The wingate power test involves pedaling a cycle ergometer at a maximal level of exertion (fastest pedal speed) for 30 seconds. This test is designed to measure the anaerobic power output primarily from the knee extensors (quadriceps muscle). After a warm up the participant will pedal at maximum capacity with a prescribed resistance on the flywheel (7. 5% of the participant"s body weight). It is important that the subject perform at their maximal physical limits from the beginning to the end of the test. Cycle ergometer resistance (body mass x 0. 075) _____7. 9_____ kg. Calculate the following (show work): calculate the power in watts for each time interval. Power (watts) = (load on flywheel in kg) x (average revolutions) x (11. 765) To obtain average revolutions = total number of revolutions 6 (7. 9) x (8. 83) x (11. 765) (69. 757) x (11. 765) = 821 watts: the fatigue index (fi) reflects the ability of the muscles to resist fatigue.
