The Wingate test (also known as the Wingate Anaerobic Test (WAnT)) is an anaerobic test, most often performed on a cycle ergometer, that is used to measure peak anaerobic power, as well as anaerobic capacity.〔 〕 The test, which can also be performed on an arm crank ergometer, consists of a set time pedaling at maximum speed against a constant force.〔 〕 The prototype test based on the Cumming’s test was introduced in 1974,〔 〕 at the Wingate Institute and has undergone modifications as time has progressed. The Wingate test has also been used as a basis to design newer tests in the same vein,〔 〕 and others which utilize running as the mode of exercise instead of cycling.〔 〕 Sprint interval testing such as is similar to the construction of the Wingate test has been shown to increase both aerobic and anaerobic performance.〔 〕 The Wingate Test was developed at the Wingate Institute in Israel during the 1970s. ==Validity== In order to determine validity of a testing procedure, one must test the protocol against a "gold standard" which is trusted to elicit the "true" values. In instances where there is a “gold standard,” such as hydrostatic weighing in determination of body composition, this is an easy task.〔 〕 There is however no such standard protocol for the determination of either anaerobic capacity or power〔 Due to this problem, the Wingate test has instead been compared with sport performance, sport specialty, and laboratory findings. These comparisons have determined that the Wingate test is measuring what it claims to measure, and is a good indicator of these measurements.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「wingate test」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
