The critical power test provides estimates of two important parameters characterizing work performance; anaerobic work capacity (AWC) and critical power (CP). The CP concept has recently been adapted to a test procedure involving ramp exercise. Just as the constant power format of the CP test can be expressed in several mathematically equivalent forms, so too can the ramp format. This communication illustrates these forms and tests the various AWC and CP estimates so obtained. It is found that three of the four forms provide equivalent estimates for both AWC and CP. It is concluded that provided either endurance time or total work performed is taken as the dependent variable, researchers can expect consistent estimates for both AWC and CP.
无氧工作能力（AWC）和临界功率（CP）。CP概念最近已应用于一项涉及递增运动的测试程序。正如CP测试的恒定功率形式可以用几种数学上等效的形式表示一样，递增形式也可以。本文阐述了这些形式，并对由此获得的各种AWC和CP估算值进行了测试。结果发现，四种形式中的三种对AWC和CP都提供了等效的估算值。得出的结论是，只要将耐力时间或完成的总工作量作为因变量，研究人员就可以预期获得关于AWC和CP的一致估算值。
