The purpose is to optimize the methodology of carrying out and assessing the results of Wingate test executed with a manual ergometer, based on the technical characteristics of the device, as well as on biochemical processes in the body and its morphological parameters, with a view to obtain reliable results that characterize the athlete's functional abilities. Materials and methods. The analysis and generalization of scientific literature was carried out; athletes from various sports were tested. SPSS 20 program was used for statistical processing of the study results. The testing was executed with Monark Ergomedic 891E manual mechanical ergometer (Sweden). Results. The following recommendations were formulated during the testing: • The warming-up should include short training sessions with no load, sprints using the tested load, and a full-time training testing that simulates the controlling one. The warming-up should be followed by a 5-minutes rest. • The weight used for the load with manual ergometry may constitute 3.7% of total body weight. • The initial speed should be 100-130 rpm [7, 12, 13, 14]. • The test time is determined by the purpose of the study. If the task is to determine the speed-strength characteristics of an athlete (his explosive power), then it is advisable to use a 5-second test. If the task is to determine the strength endurance of an athlete then it’s better to use a 30-second test. According to the results of the athletes' testing, a significant dependence of the peak power on the young men shoulder circumference was revealed; the power increase at the beginning of testing was observed, the peak was achieved on the second number two, and the decrease was detected at the end of testing in the subgroup of young men. There was a slight power decrease at the end of the girls testing. Conclusion. When carrying out the Wingate test to obtain reliable results characterizing the functional abilities of athletes’ muscles, it is important to create external conditions favorable for internal biochemical and physiological processes, the results of which will be informative.
