Written by the test's developers, The Wingate Anaerobic Testexplains the methodological considerations, typical findings, and various applications of the test. Plus, it eliminates the confusion over how to apply the test accurately and consistently. The Wingate Anaerobic Testincludes
-an introduction to the test and perspective on how it compares with other tests of anaerobic power;
-descriptions of the proper protocol, necessary equipment, obtainable measures, standardization process, and safety considerations during and after the test;
-summaries of research on the reliability, validity, and sensitivity of the test;
-discussions of factors to control or consider while performing the test;
-typical values of performance found with various groups of subjects; and
-suggestions for future research in anaerobic testing.
The appendix includes data collected at the Wingate Institute over many years, presenting typical values for healthy, untrained Israeli males and females aged 8 to 45 years.
