Physical education students (n=24) were subjected to the 30 s Wingate test twice, on two consecutive days, one of the tests (1) starting at full resistance (0.74 N/kg body mass), the other (2) starting at low resistance, gradually increasing to full within 2-3 s. One group of subjects (A; n=13) performed the tests in the order 1-2, the other (B; n=11) in the reversed order. The tests were performed on a Monark cycle ergometer and recorded by using Multicard E30 system. Basic mechanical variables were recorded - momentary and peak power, peak time, time of sustaining peak power, total work output and power drop curve. It has been found that the mode of starting the test significantly affects the assessment of the anaerobic capacity and therefore results obtained by those two options of the test are not comparable to one another. The results obtained suggest that although in the low resistance option higher values of the mechanical variables can be attained, the high resistance one enables a more precise assessment of subject's anaerobic capacity.
