To determine climatic effects on performance of the Wingate Anaerobic Test, 28 children (10.2-12.2 years old) were each tested in three different climates: Neutral (22-23 degrees C, 55-60% R.H.), hot-dry (38-39 degrees C, 25-30% R.H.), and warm-humid (30 degrees C, 85-90% R.H.). The test is an all-out 30 s cycle-ergometer-pedalling in which mean as well as peak power outputs are determined. The children stayed in the climatic chamber for 45 min prior to the test. Mean power, relative to body weight, was higher in the boys after the warm-humid exposure compared with the hot-dry one (P < 0.05). No other differences were found. Inter-climate correlations of weight-relative power outputs were 0.83-0.92 and 0.82-0.86 for mean power in the girl and boy groups, respectively, and 0.33-0.72 and 0.49-0.75 for peak power, in the same order. The corresponding values for absolute power outputs were always higher. Reasons why the single detected inter-climate difference is likely to have been a happenstance are discussed, and it is suggested that comparable environmental exposures do not appreciably affect performance of the Wingate Anaerobic Test by children and young adolescents. The practicality and reliability of this test is, therefore, well maintained in "field situations" where climate cannot be strictly controlled.
为确定气候对温盖特无氧测试表现的影响，对28名儿童（10.2 - 12.2岁）在三种不同气候条件下进行了测试：中性气候（22 - 23摄氏度，相对湿度55 - 60%）、干热气候（38 - 39摄氏度，相对湿度25 - 30%）和暖湿气候（30摄氏度，相对湿度85 - 90%）。该测试为全力进行30秒的自行车测功计蹬踏，在此过程中测定平均功率和峰值功率输出。测试前，儿童在气候舱内停留45分钟。与干热暴露后相比，暖湿暴露后男孩相对于体重的平均功率更高（P < 0.05）。未发现其他差异。女孩组和男孩组中，体重相对功率输出的气候间相关性，平均功率分别为0.83 - 0.92和0.82 - 0.86，峰值功率分别为0.33 - 0.72和0.49 - 0.75。绝对功率输出的相应值始终更高。讨论了为何唯一检测到的气候间差异可能只是偶然情况，并表明类似的环境暴露不会明显影响儿童和青少年进行温盖特无氧测试的表现。因此，在无法严格控制气候的“实地情况”中，该测试的实用性和可靠性仍能得到很好的保持。
