Abstract BACKGROUND: Anaerobic energy is the important factor in day-to-day life. The squat jump is a variant of the vertical jump used to analyze the anaerobic power of the lower limb. The Wingate cycle test is considered the gold standard for the same. The need of the study is to check the correlation of power output of both.
METHOD: Total of 242 adults (female=112) with mean age of 21.5 ± 3.5 (SD) years from physiotherapy college & nearby areas were selected, and participants were included up till now. Peak anaerobic power was determined using Sayer’s equations based on each subject’s vertical jump height in centimeters (cm), body mass in kilograms (kg), and height in centimeters (cm). The participants performed the 30-second Wingate cycle ergometer test. Peak and mean anaerobic power (W) over the 30-seconds, were calculated by a computer program during the test.
RESULT: The data was analysed using SPSS software ver.26 which showed that data didn’t followed normality, so Spearman rank test was used. The correlation was found to be strongly positive & statistically significant (r = 0.82, p < 0.001) of squat jump test & wingate test.
CONCLUSION: The squat jump strongly correlates with wingate cycle test. On the basis of the study a construct validity is also established for squat jump test. The squat jump test could be used for assessing the anaerobic power in young adult.
