Wingate test

The Wingate test is considered to be the most reliable method for determining the course and extent of anaerobic performance. A (hand or foot crank) ergometer is cranked for a maximum of 30 s while sitting or lying down. The total performance, the point maximum performance, the oxygen consumption and the same performance in each of the 10 s sections are measured. When using the hand crank, the oxygen supply in the brain is more impaired than with the foot crank, so that impaired consciousness can occur - which affects (retest) reliability. Since in team sports, in contrast to athletics or cycling, the loads rarely last 30 s, a modification lasting only 20 s was used for this. Since the lactic-anaerobic performance in children is not yet very pronounced, the test is not used in children.
