A comparison of two anaerobic test measurement systems using an upper body Wingate test.
RESEARCH IN SPORTS MEDICINE(2014)
Abstract
This study aimed to compare performance measures acquired by two different Wingate Anaerobic Test systems; Cranlea and Monark. Twenty participants undertook 58 Wingate tests against a 4% body mass resistive load on a cycle ergometer adapted for arm cranking. Corrected peak power output (PP; W) was recorded using 1 rev min(-1), 0.5, 1 and 5 s averages and mean power output (MP; W). The Cranlea system recorded the greatest PP (589 +/- 267 W) compared with the Monark (546 +/- 267 W; P < 0.001). The PP using all other methods was also greater for the Cranlea compared with the Monark system (P < 0.001) with mean differences of 55 +/- 18 W for 1 s averages and 22 +/- 18 W for MP. Correlations between all PPs were strong (r = 0.99 - 0.97; P < 0.001). In conclusion, although the Cranlea system provides a consistently greater corrected PP it may not be enough to substantially differentiate between systems.
