Wingate Test

Wingate testing is appropriate for individuals who are interested in finding out about their anaerobic power. Anaerobic power is a reflection of how efficiently the body’s energy system of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and phosphocreatine (PCr) pathways work. This energy system gives you high power for short durations.

A Wingate Test is a 30 second all out sprint performed on our Excalibur Sport Lode Ergometer. This mechanically braked cycle is renowned worldwide as the gold standard in ergometry. The rider is instructed to pedal as fast as possible while the torque remains constant at a rate depending on the body weight. Power = Torque x velocity.

Pedal Force Measurement is included with the Wingate Test

The Lode Ergometer has built-in modified strain gauge technology that measures forces exerted on the pedals during exercise and is supplied with angle detection. Forces, power, and torque results per 2 degrees of each revolution and efficiency calculations are monitored and recorded while the client cycles. This can help identify which leg is dominant and at which angles the client is able to produce the most power.
