abstract="Aim. The aim of the present research was to analyze the effect of a maximum anaerobic Wingate test on central nervous system (CNS) and cortical arousal in trained cyclists. <br><br>METHODS. We analyzed 8 trained cyclists (65.8 +/- 5.6 kg, 175.5 +/- 6.0 cm, 16.7 +/- 0.8 years, 10.9 +/- 2.5% fat, 33.1 +/- 3.83 kg muscular mass, VO2max [mL/kg/min], 60.9 +/- 4.1, VO2max [mL]: 4027.8 +/- 287.5). Participants conducted before and after a Wingate test a critical flicker fusion threshold test (CFFTT) to analyze cortical arousal and fatigue of CNS. <br><br>RESULTS. After the Wingate test, cortical arousal increased since the variable of sensorial sensibility analyzed in CFFTT increased (33.35 +/- 8.04 vs. 34.37 +/- 8.95 Hz). <br><br>CONCLUSION. Wingate test increase cortical arousal and does not cause fatigue of the central nervous system, fatigue during these exertions are probably a peripheral phenomenon.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
