Regulating exercise intensity using ratings of perceived exertion during arm and leg ergometry

Abstract: The purpose of this investigation was to examine the validity of regulating exercise intensity using ratings of perceived exertion (RPEs) during arm crank and leg cycle exercise at 50 and 70% peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak). Ten men and seven women [26 (1) years old; mean (SE)] participated in this study. Each subject completed a maximal estimation trial and two submaximal exercise bouts (production trials) on both an arm and leg ergometer. During each maximal estimation trial, subjects were asked to give a … Show more

“…An alternative method for prescribing exercise intensity in a diabetic population, the RPE scale, is a subjective tool that may be used in place of heart rate, and its use has been the recommendation for patients with DAN (13). In normal populations, use of the RPE scale has been validated for level treadmill running (19) and during incremental exercise on a cycle ergometer (20,21). The current study found a highly linear relationship between RPE and %VO 2 R, providing support for its continued use by diabetic individuals.…”

“…28 This scale is a valid measure of local upper extremity exertion. 29 We considered the participants to be fatigued when they reported an exertion level exceeding 14 of 20. 30 A rating of 15 on the rating of perceived exertion scale corresponds with ''hard/heavy work or strain and fatigue on muscles.''…”

“…Os atletas foram considerados fatigados quando reportavam um valor de 15 ou superior; os atletas não foram informados deste limiar a partir do qual se terminava o protocolo. A Escala de Borg é uma medida válida da percepção da intensidade de esforço local do membro supe-rior (13,14) . Para além disso, um valor de 15 na Escala de Borg apresenta uma elevada correlação com diversas alterações metabólicas associadas à fadiga muscular (15) .…”
