Abstract
This study examined the differences between three different intensity levels during a Wingate Anaerobic test (WAT) on the pedal power asymmetry and descriptive variables in recreationally active individuals. Six recreationally active volunteers completed a counterbalanced design of three separate WAT at different intensities. Test intensities consisted of a low resistance (5%), traditional resistance (7.5%), and a high resistance (8.7%) of each individual’s body mass in kilograms (kg). Descriptive data (age, weight, height, blood pressure, and heart rate) were also collected. A two-way repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) examined the differences between each intensity level across all four sprints with pedal power between the dominate (D) and non-dominant (ND) leg. No significant differences were found between the Wingate cycle performance intensity and pedal power asymmetry (p > 0.05). The results inform future strategies for injury prevention and improvements in cycling efficiency.
