The foundation of a successful training process is the level of motor fitness and special physical performance. In the work, special pedagogical tests for short track skaters and an upgraded bicycle ergometer were used to study physical qualities during anaerobic work. It is shown that according to the data of bicycle ergometry, the reliability of differences between the groups of young short track skaters is noted in terms of indicators assessing speed qualities, speed-strength work and speed endurance. At the same time, when using special pedagogical tests, differences were recorded only for one test out of eight used.
