These findings suggest that warm-up is an unimportant factor in peak power levels, but if mean power is the variable of interest it is important to standardize the warm-up. Since the Wingate test stresses the anaerobic metabolic systems glucose consumption pre-testing can be another influential factor.

Peaking power plants, also known as peaker plants, and occasionally just "peakers", are power plants that generally run only when there is a high demand, known as peak demand, for electricity. [1] Because they supply power only occasionally, the power supplied commands a much higher price per kilowatt hour than base load power.
