Assess Anaerobic Capacity With a 30–45 Second Maximal Effort

Use a Wingate test in a lab, or outside the lab use sprinting, an air bike, or a rower for an all-out effort of about 30 seconds, up to 45 seconds or even a minute, and record distance or work completed. Kettlebell swings are not preferred because too many technical variables interfere with maximal effort assessment. Use 220 minus age only as a rough predicted maximum heart rate reference.
