“…The impairment level measures have established reliability and validity with some clinical populations. 29,32 However, much work remains to be done to establish reliable and valid measures of disability that represent meaningful change for the participants and their families. Additional outcomes that may be affected by this type of program include self-esteem or social competence and the level of knowledge regarding fitness and healthy lifestyles.…”

The fitness program, called "Off the Couch," (OTC) was provided in six-week sessions for one hour per week. Outcomes examined included the energy expenditure index (EEI), rating of perceived exertion (RPE), maximum running velocity, and the overall daily activity level of the child and the number of exercise sessions that the child participated in over a two-week time period. J demonstrated a reduction in EEI and a slight improvement in maximum running velocity. Activity level remained at a relatively high level. The program is discussed with respect to feasibility in a clinical setting, suggestions for similar programs and areas for related research. J's outcomes are discussed in terms of their functional relevance.

“…This scale has been shown to be a valid and reliable means of monitoring exercise intensity for children without disabilities. 29 The reliability and validity of the RPE in children with mental retardation have not been established. It is a 10-point scale with colors and facial expressions that correspond to level of exertion.…”

“…Thus, they suggested to use rating scales with fewer intensity categories in children and adolescents. When using such scales, the correlations between RPE and heart rate increase [ 39 ]. Nevertheless, the demands regarding the differentiation of intensities are comparatively lower than with the Borg scale.…”

Moderators of Perceived Effort in Adolescent Rowers During a Graded Exercise Test

Physical activity promotes mental health. A key factor is self-regulation. In the field of sports, self-regulation is related to the psychophysiological competence of rating of perceived effort (RPE). It was reported that adolescents have lower RPE competencies than adults, and it was hypothesized that this effect depends on physiological and cognitive development. The present study investigated in a sample of adolescents whether the RPE is related to basic cognitive competencies. Twelve rowers performed cognitive tests and a graded exercise test on a rowing ergometer, in which they continuously rated their perceived effort. Objective load measures and subjective perceptions were highly correlated (rho = 0.95–0.99). Furthermore, these correlations were inter-individually moderated by measures of mental speed and spontaneous flexibility. The results confirm the significance of basal cognitive competencies for conscious load perception. It is discussed whether regular sport has beneficial effects on the development of RPE competencies by enhancing cognitive regulation.

“…Before the 6MWT, each participant rested for 5–10 min, during which we conducted standardized measurements: anthropometry (weight, height, leg length, and chest circumference), spirometry (peak expiratory flow, PEF; forced expiratory volume in 1 s, FEV 1 ), blood pressure (systolic blood pressure, pre‐SBP; diastolic blood pressure, pre‐DBP), oximetry (oxygen saturation, pre‐SpO 2 ), heart rate (pre‐HR), and rating of perceived exertion (pre‐RPE) (see Supporting Information). RPE was measured by showing the participant a pictorial RPE chart by Cassady et al 22 depicting five facial expressions corresponding to increasing levels of perceived tiredness and asking to choose which best described how tired s/he was feeling at that moment; the corresponding numerical value was recorded as the RPE.…”

Background: The 6-minute walk test (6MWT), a simple, reliable, and valid test that uses the distance walked in 6 minute walk distance (6MWD) to quantify functional capacity, is widely used in the management of chronic disorders. However, the absence of reference standards from sub-Saharan African, including Nigerian, school-aged children limits its utility in this age group. Objectives: To develop normative values and equations for the 6MWD of school-aged Nigerian children. Methods: In a cross-sectional study, healthy children aged 6-11 years in Lagos, Nigeria, completed the 6MWT on 20-m-long straight outdoor courses in their schools. The primary outcome was the 6MWD in meters while potential predictors included demographic (age, sex), anthropometric (height, weight, chest circumference, leg length) and physiologic variables (pre-walk, immediate post-walk, and fifth min-post-walk heart rate [HR], oxygen saturation [SpO 2 ], systolic blood pressure [SBP], diastolic blood pressure [DBP], and rating of perceived exertion [RPE]; and the difference between pre-walk and post-walk HR [ΔHR], SpO 2 [ΔSpO 2 ], SBP [ΔSBP], DBP [ΔDBP], and RPE [ΔRPE]).
