Moreover, it has been used as a golden standard to validate field tests in this sport ( Thomas et al., 2002 Hazir et al., 2018) and it correlated with match performance ( Pekas et al., 2016). Also, it discriminated soccer players with cerebral palsy from their healthy peers and general population, too ( Yanci et al., 2016). This test has been shown to differentiate soccer players from athletes of other sports ( Kalinski et al., 2002 Harbili, 2015 Jakovljević et al., 2018). The Wingate anaerobic test (WAnT) has been a major laboratory test of short-term high-intensity performance in the field of soccer exercise physiology/exercise testing ( Al-Hazzaa et al., 2001 Meckel et al., 2009). These findings on the largest dataset of soccer players ever studied would be expected to offer a practical tool to the members of the sports medicine team (e.g., exercise physiologists, fitness trainers, and coaches) working with them. In summary, P peak and P mean were related very largely to age, especially during adolescence, and percentile norms of these indices were developed for 1-year age groups from 11 to 21 years old and for a single adult age group (22–39 years old). Age was related very largely with peak power ( R 2 = 0.57) and mean power of the WAnT ( R 2 = 0.60) when they were expressed in W, and largely ( R 2 = 0.41 and R 2 = 0.33, respectively) when they were expressed in W.kg −1, whereas it did not relate with fatigue index. Hundred and ninety five male soccer players (age 18.1 ± 4.9 years) performed the WAnT, and a sub-sample of 190 soccer players (age 19.4 ± 5.1 years) performed 20 m sprint, squat (SJ) and countermovement jump (CMJ). A secondary aim was to examine the relationship of WAnT with two common field tests, 20 m sprint and vertical jump, and study the variation of this relationship by age and playing position. Therefore, the main aim of the present study was to develop norms of the main indices of the WAnT with regards to age in soccer. The Wingate anaerobic test (WAnT) has been used extensively to evaluate performance in soccer, however, a comprehensive sport-specific normative database has not been available so far. 5Institute of Primary Care, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland.4The Research Center in Sports Sciences, Health and Human Development, CIDESD, Vila Real, Portugal.3Instituto de Telecomunicações, Delegação da Covilhã, Covilhã, Portugal.2School of Sport and Leisure, Polytechnic Institute of Viana do Castelo, Melgaço, Portugal.1Exercise Physiology Laboratory, Nikaia, Greece.Pantelis Theodoros Nikolaidis 1, Bruno Matos 2, Filipe Manuel Clemente 2,3, Pedro Bezerra 2,4, Miguel Camões 2, Thomas Rosemann 5 and Beat Knechtle 5,6*
