“…In the following sessions, the workload was progressively increased adjusting the weight to perform eight maximal repetitions. The rating of perceived exertion during the SG sessions ranged from 12 to 14 on the Borg 6–20 Scale [ 20 ], similar to the previous study [ 21 ].…”

Objective. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of multicomponent and strength training programs on dynamic balance, functional capacity, and gait ability in older women. Methods. Thirty individuals (67 ± 4.3 years; 30.6 ± 3.9 kg/m2) were trained for 12 weeks (3 times per week), following multicomponent (MG: exercises focusing on agility, balance, muscle strength, and aerobic) and strength programs (SG: lower limbs strength exercise). Results. Peak torque of hip flexors (p=0.020) and extensors (p=0.009) and knee flexors (p=0.001) of SG was greater than that of MG at posttraining. In addition, both groups increased peak torque of knee extensors (p=0.002) and plantar extensors with higher effect size for SG (d = −0.41 and −0.48), whereas MG presented higher effect size for plantar flexors muscles (d = −0.55). Only the SG improved the rate of torque development of knee extensors (29%; p=0.002), and this variable was also greater to SG than MG at posttraining (106%). The SG and MG improved dynamic balance although SG presented higher effect size (d = 0.61). Both groups improved the performance on 30 s sit to stand test (p=0.010) with higher effect size for MG (d = −0.54). Only the MG improved the stride length (4%; p=0.011) and gait speed (10%; p=0.024). In addition, the groups improved toe clearance (p=0.035) and heel contact (p=0.010) with higher effect sizes for MG (d = −0.066 and 1.07). Conclusion. Strength training should be considered to increase muscle function and dynamic balance in older women, whereas multicomponent training should be considered to increase functional capacity and gait ability in this population.

“…The aerobic exercise consisted of 20–25 min walking through the University campus. The intensity of aerobic training was controlled by the participants' perceived exertion that ranged from 12 to 14 on the Borg 6–20 Scale [ 20 ], i.e., moderate to vigorous exercise intensity [ 25 ].…”

“…Thus, considering heart rate as a criterion, the Borg 6-20 presents good reliability for both sexes (ICC ¼ 0.98). The Borg 6-20 scale was recently validated for Brazilian Portuguese respondents (Cabral et al, 2020) adopting a type of ICC that followed the McGraw and Wong (1996) classification.…”

Positive Affective and Enjoyment Responses to Four High-Intensity Interval Exercise Protocols

et al. 2020

Several variables can be manipulated to compose high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE) protocols, and these different combinations may evoke different psychological responses (affect, enjoyment, mood, and perceived exertion). This study investigated psychological responses during four HIIE protocols. Following anthropometric measurements and two maximal exercise tests, 23 physically inactive adults (11 males [ Mage = 25.6, SD = 4.8 years; Mbody mass = 68.5, SD = 12.2 kg; Mheight = 1.72, SD = 0.08 m] and 12 females [ Mage = 25.0, SD = 3.5 years; Mbody mass = 57.2, SD = 8.7 kg; Mheight = 1.59, SD = 0.06 m]) performed four different types of HIIE on different days: (a) Long-interval HIIE (HIIEL—10 × 60 seconds:60 seconds), (b) Short-interval HIIE (HIIES—2 blocks of 10 × 30 seconds:30 seconds with 120 seconds between blocks), (c) Repeated Sprint Training (19 × 6 seconds all out:40 seconds), and (d) Sprint Interval Training (4 × 30 seconds all-out efforts: 240 seconds). We used a final session to assess participants’ HIIE preference. We recorded participant reports of affect, mood, and perceived exertion throughout protocols, and we recorded enjoyment after exercise session. Perceived exertion significantly increased across all HIIE protocols ( p < .001), with higher values in the first quartile during Sprint Interval Training versus HIIEL ( p = .033). Affective response presented higher values pre-exercise and at the first quartile compared with all other moments ( p < .001). Tension ( p < .001) and depression ( p = .013) decreased from pre- to post-exercise in all experimental conditions. At pre-exercise, female participants were tenser than males ( p = .018), though males presented higher pre-exercise vigor scores than females ( p = .023). Vigor increased over time for females ( p = .022). Enjoyment did not vary between sexes or protocols. Participants expressed a higher preference for Repeated Sprint Training. HIIE protocols promoted positive psychological responses for physically inactive young adults, and exercise designs may modulate psychological responses.

“…Although the Borg scale is usually reliable, children may have difficulty understanding it (Chen et al, 2017). Even in elderly people, correlation coefficients between the Borg scale and HR and maximum oxygen uptake are lower than those in young adults (Luana et al, 2020; Pak‐Kwong et al, 2015). Many scales have been developed for use by children (Chen et al, 2017; Groslambert et al, 2001; Quinart et al, 2016; Roemmich et al, 2006), yet there are few for elderly, especially those with morbidities.…”

Relationship between the face scale for rating of perceived exertion and physiological parameters in older adults and patients with atrial fibrillation

et al. 2021

Background The Borg scale is used to determine exercise intensity in rehabilitation but can be difficult for older adults to understand. By contrast, face scale that are used to evaluate pain are much easier to understand thanks to the inclusion of illustrations. On the other hand, the prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) increases with age. This study aimed to determine the validity of the face scale for rating perceived exertion (RPE‐face scale) in older adults and patients with AF during cardiopulmonary exercise test. Furthermore, the relationship between face scale and anaerobic threshold (AT) was also investigated. Methods A total of 90 patients with sinus rhythm (SR) (74 men, 16 women) and 22 with AF were enrolled. Participants’ responses were recorded using the RPE‐face scale and compared with exercise intensity, heart rate, oxygen uptake, and minute ventilation during the exercise test. We determined the AT by the V‐slope method. Results Correlations between RPE‐face scale and physiological parameters were significantly positive for men with SR and women with SR and AF. However, differences in the correlation coefficient between age and SR or AF were not statistically significant. The cutoff value for AT of the RPE‐face scale was “4,” showing high sensitivity and specificity. Conclusions The RPE‐face scale can be used to determine the intensity of physical exercise, unaffected by age, gender, SR, or AF.
