dc.description.abstractThe Wingate Anaerobic Test is the most common method used to evaluate explosive power and anaerobic capacity. The Wingate Anaerobic Test performed on an elliptical trainer (WAnTet) may be more accurate than the Wingate Anaerobic Test performed on a cycle ergometer (WAnTc) since larger muscle group recruitment with the WAnTet results in higher anaerobic output. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare peak power (PP), average power (AP), fatigue index (FI%) and delta lactate responses (ΔLa) between WAnTet and WAnTc in healthy male university athletes. In our test subjects, (n = 40; 21 ± 2 years old), PP (1463 ± 238 vs. 879 ± 162 watts) and AP (1127 ± 191 vs. 649 ± 82 watts) for the WAnTet were higher when compared to the WAnTc (p < 0.001). FI%s of WAnTet and WAnTc were similar (49.8 ± 10.3% and 46.9 ± 8.3%, respectively; p = 0.054) but ΔLa values were higher for WAnTet than for WAnTc (12.9 ± 1.7 mM vs. 9.2 ± 1.5 mM, respectively; p < 0.001). Using an elliptical trainer, rather than a traditional cycle ergometer, results in a more accurate measure of anaerobic power when Wingate Anaerobic Testing is performed. © 2009 - IOS Press and the authors.
