Peak Power Testing

Wingate testing measures your peak power output and rate of fatigue. This test offers insight into strength and endurance, and uncovers how long your body can produce and sustain power before performance starts decreasing.

How

This assessment is done on a stationary Wattbike. You will perform a 5-minute warm-up with 3 ramp ups in order to make sure you are prepared for a maximum effort. Following the warmup, you will perform an all-out 30 second test while producing as much power as possible. Following the test, you’ll have a 30 minute consultation with a Master’s-level performance physiologist about your unique results and how to improve them.

How often

Twice per year, or as needed for your sport or training goals.
