Running Anaerobic Sprint Test: six maximal 35 m sprints, each time recorded as a split, with power derived from them.
Version 1 of the protocol in the StatsCenter catalogue.
Calculator
RAST power and fatigue index
The formula
Power of each sprint = mass (kg) × 35² ÷ time³ (s)
Fatigue index = (maximum power − minimum power) ÷ sum of the six times
Zagatto, Beck & Gobatto (2009), Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research. The equation estimates; it is not a clinical report and does not replace a direct measurement. It is the same calculation StatsCenter applies when a club collects.
