Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine whether assigned loads for the wingate anaerobic cycle ergometer test (WAnT) test should be based on lean body mass (LBM) or body mass (BM) and to define optimal loads for eliciting maximal peak power output (PPO) which was used as the performance criterion. Eight (n = 8) young male untrained subjects were used in a randomized controlled trials test to determine whether the relationship between BM and performance was stronger or weaker than the relationship between LBM and performance, from these results an optimal load was also established. The subjects conducted the WAnT on four occasions with four different loads being assigned each time randomly. The four loads used were 6%, 7.5%, 9% and 10% of the subject's BM. The standardized load for the test is 7.5%. Keywords: wingate cycle ergometer test, performance, relationship, body mass, lean body mass
