MEZENCIO, Bruno et al. Análise da validade dos parâmetros absolutos e relativos para o cálculo da potência anaeróbia no RAST. Rev. Bras. Educ. Fís. Esporte [online]. 2014, vol.28, n.01, pp.07-11. ISSN 1981-4690.

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.
