Analysis of the absolute and relative parameters validity for anaerobic power output in RAST

The aim of the present study was to analyze the absolute and relative parameters validity for Running-based Anaerobic Sprint Test (RAST) based on Wingate test (WAnT). Twelve male volunteers aged 25.50 ± 2.32 years old performed both RAST and WAnT. Significant (p < 0.01) correlation values for the absolute maximum power (r = 0.76) and mean absolute power (0.74) was found but the relative mean values did not showed significant correlations for both maximum (r = 0.54) and average power output (r = 0.27). Significant differences (p < 0.01) between WAnT and RAST were found for all assessed parameters. Therefore, the results of the present study suggest that the RAST should be used with caution for prescription training and evaluation, and acquisition of scientific data. The results also suggest that only the absolute parameters of the test are good predictors of anaerobic power.

本研究旨在分析基于温盖特测试（Wingate test, WAnT）的跑步型无氧冲刺测试（Running-based Anaerobic Sprint Test, RAST）的绝对与相对参数效度。12名年龄为25.50±2.32岁的男性志愿者完成了RAST与WAnT两项测试。研究发现，绝对最大功率（r=0.76）与平均绝对功率（r=0.74）的相关系数具有显著统计学意义（p<0.01）；但相对均值指标在最大功率输出（r=0.54）与平均功率输出（r=0.27）上均未呈现显著相关性。所有被评估参数下，WAnT与RAST间均存在显著差异（p<0.01）。因此，本研究结果提示，在制定训练处方、开展效果评估以及进行科学数据采集时，使用RAST需谨慎；此外，研究结果还表明，仅该测试的绝对参数可作为无氧功率的良好预测指标。
