The test is performed on a cycle ergometer and involves 30 seconds of maximal effort, seated on the saddle, with a resistance load equivalent to 7.5% of the athlete&#8217;s body weight, obtaining peak power, mean power and fatigue index measurements.<\/p>\n<p>The following equipment is available to carry out these tests:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bike Med cycle ergometer (Technogym, Italy)<\/li>\n<li>839E cycle ergometer (Monark, Sweden)<\/li>\n<li>Kickr indoor trainer (Wahoo, UK)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The assessment is supervised throughout by a specialist technician\/researcher (graduate in Physical Activity and Sports Sciences).<\/p>\n<p>These assessments are accompanied by a technical report provided to the athlete after completing the testing protocol, together with possible recommendations aimed at optimising performance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p><!-- APPLICATIONS --><\/p>\n<section style=\"margin-bottom: 2rem\">\n<h3 style=\"background-color: #a6192e;color: #fff;padding: 0.5rem 1rem;border-radius: 4px 4px 0 0;font-size: 1.1rem\">TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS<\/h3>\n<div style=\"border-left: 4px solid #B6A19E;padding-left: 1rem;background-color: #f9f9f9;padding: 1rem\">\n<p>This type of service is in demand among athletes who wish to assess their ability to perform short, high-intensity efforts and sustain them for brief periods. It therefore assesses the maximum power generated, as well as the loss of power over time.<\/p>\n<p>This type of test can be requested either individually by an athlete or collectively by a team or sports organisation from any discipline interested in assessing the anaerobic capacity of its athletes, such as athletics, cycling and football.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p><!-- ADVANTAGES AND INNOVATIONS --><\/p>\n<section style=\"margin-bottom: 2rem\">\n<h3 style=\"background-color: #a6192e;color: #fff;padding: 0.5rem 1rem;border-radius: 4px 4px 0 0;font-size: 1.1rem\">ADVANTAGES AND INNOVATIVE ASPECTS<\/h3>\n<div style=\"border-left: 4px solid #B6A19E;padding-left: 1rem;background-color: #f9f9f9;padding: 1rem\">\n<p>The advantage of this test is that it assesses this capacity through a short, non-invasive test that evaluates different parameters of an athlete&#8217;s anaerobic capacity, such as maximum sprint capacity and fatigue index.<\/p>\n<p>The research team has participated in numerous studies using this type of test, particularly with cyclists and distance runners, applying the knowledge acquired through research to improve athletes&#8217; performance and providing recommendations and guidance aimed at individualising training loads and adapting them to the athlete.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p><!-- DEVELOPMENT STAGE --><\/p>\n<section style=\"margin-bottom: 2rem\">\n<h3 style=\"background-color: #a6192e;color: #fff;padding: 0.5rem 1rem;border-radius: 4px 4px 0 0;font-size: 1.1rem\">DEVELOPMENT STAGE<\/h3>\n<div style=\"border-left: 4px solid #B6A19E;padding-left: 1rem;background-color: #f9f9f9;padding: 1rem\">\n<p>The technology and protocols are fully validated and operational.
