Abstract Two separate experiments were conducted to ascertain the optimum protocol for a maximum anaerobic work output test on the bicycle ergometer. Data from 58 subjects indicated that the test duration needs to be approximately 40 sec and the optimal frictional resistance, 5.0 to 6.0 kp (30 to 36 kpm/rev). The desirability of using performance tests to represent biophysiologic data is discussed.
