EVALUATION OF ANAEROBIC CAPACITY IN YOUNG ADULTS USING STEP TEST

Explores an acExplores an accessible alternative to other equipment such as the Wingate Anaerobic Test (WAnT), Whiceh often require specialized equipment and are expensive . The Wingate Test, a 30 second maximal effort on a cycle ergometer is widely recognized for measuring anaerobic power and capacity. However its high cost and the need for specialized equipment limit its accessibility in certain settings. In contrast, step tests,which involve stepping onto and off a platform at a consistent rate , offer a more economical and practical approach for evaluating anaerobic capacity .
In this study, participants aged 18 to 23 performed a one – minute anaerobic step test on a 40cm platform. The test involved stepping at a height of 40cm , with the number of steps completed in 15 seconds used to calculate peak anaerobic power (kg/) and the total number of steps in 60 seconds to estimate anaerobic capacity (kg/min).
These calculations are based on the formula:

Power (kg/s) = Force × Distance × 1.33/ Time

Capacity (kg/min) = Force × Distance ×1.33/ Time

Additionaly , participants data such as name , height, age, weight, and BMI were collected to contextualize the results. This approach provides a cost – effective method for assessing anaerobic capacity.
