What does mean power represent?

Mean power represents the average power output over all 30 seconds of the Wingate test. It reflects total anaerobic work capacity and glycolytic system function.

What is the fatigue index?

Fatigue index = (peak power - minimum power) / peak power × 100%. A high fatigue index indicates rapid power decline, suggesting limited anaerobic endurance. Values of 40-60% are typical in untrained individuals.

How does mean power differ from peak power in training applications?

Peak power guides explosive training needs while mean power guides glycolytic conditioning requirements. Athletes needing late-game performance focus on improving mean power and reducing fatigue index.
