The Relationship Between a Dimensional Ratings of Perceived Exertion Scale and Heart Rate in Young Children
<p>The purpose of this study was to determine the reliability of a dimensional rating of perceived exertion scale (D-RPE) for young children while exercising. Sixteen boys and girls (ages 6-8 years) peiformed two incremental walking tests on a motorized treadmill. Each subject walked at 3.2 miles …

Ratings of perceived exertion during steady-state exercise using leg-only versus arm-and-leg cycle ergometry
… has led many investigators to believe that perceived effort during exercise is lower with greater active muscle mass (Hagan, et al., 1983; Sargeant & Davies, 1973; Shephard, et al., 1992; Stenberg, et al., 1967), presumably because the effort is distributed to more muscle tissue. The purpose …

The relationship between ratings of perceived exertion, training load, and types of deliberate practice in ice hockey training
Ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) are used in team sport settings to measure the perceived exercise intensity of training. Coaches may use measures of RPE as a method to monitor training load to ensure athletes are being sufficiently challenged without overtraining. However, limited published …

The Effect of a Bcaa Supplement with and without Cho on Performance in Recreationally Trained Cyclists
The purpose of the current study was to examine the effect of a branched- chain amino acid (BCAA) supplement with and without carbohydrate (CHO) on performance in competitive cyclists. Subjects were recruited from the GSU cycling team (n=6). Each subject's maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max) was …

Affective and psychological responses to asynchronous music during submaximal treadmill running
… through which the psychophysical effects of music could be studied. Second, to design and validate an instrument for assessing the motivational qualities of music: The Brunel Music Inventory (BMRI). Third, to test affective and psychophysical responses to motivational and oudeterous …

An investigation of RPE-heart rate and the RPE-lactate relationships in elite athletes
This thesis investigated the relationship of ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) with heart rate (HR) and blood lactate (La) that involved four studies. The first study concerned comparing RPE relationships with elite swimmers during exercise tests performed during in-season (IS) and off-season …

Modelling the additivity of perceived exertion in symmetric, mid-sagittal lifting
… were formulated to examine the additivity of perceived exertion in repetitive, symmetric, mid-sagittal lifting. "Additivity" has been defined as the means by which a whole-body rating of perceived exertion is composed of a weighted combination of component ratings of perceived exertion. The …

Comparison of heart rates between deep water running, treadmill running, and cycling
… running (TR), cycling, and DWR at 60% and 75% of MaxVO2 were different. Ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) between runners and swimmers during TR and DWR were also compared. Analysis of the data showed that runners, at both intensities, had no difference in HR between TR, DWR, and cycling. At …

Physiological and Perceived Psychological Responses of Collegiate Football Athletes to Ventilated Shoulder Pads During a Scrimmage
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of cold air ventilated shoulder pads on core temperature and perceived exertion in football athletes during a scrimmage. METHODS: Eight football athletes were randomly divided into two groups, one receiving cold air ventilation (v) and the …

Factors affecting perceived exertion and task duration during intermittent isometric fatiguing exercise and their implications for rehabilitation following knee surgery
… self-perception is integral to the regulation of exercise and production of an optimal performance. This concept has not been examined in an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructed population where the consequences of injury and surgery may provide a substantive perturbation to …

Determination of the physiological responses of female fire fighters while working in the heat
This study determined the physiological responses of female fire fighters to two similar bouts of work in the heat. Peak heart rates (HR), peak oxygen consumption (VO2), peak rectal temperatures (Trec), peak mean skin temperature (MST), and ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) were compared between …

Cardiorespiratory responses to altered rider position with conventional and aerodynamic handlebars
… The positions were determined by the position of the hands on the handlebars and the posture of the upper body: upright (UP), and drop position (DP) with conventional racing handlebars, and an aerodynamic tuck (AT) using Scott DH time-trial handlebars. Ten well-trained (mean V02max=60.7 ± 3.63 …

The Effects of Playing Exergames on Energy Expenditure
<p>The purpose of this study was to assess the performance, ratings of perceived exertion, metabolic responses, and energy expenditure as individuals participated in interactive video game play. There were 14 participants that participated in the study, whose age was 20.1 ± 1.64 years of age. …

Investigating the Relationship Between Objective and Subjective Measures of Physical Demand During Passive Exoskeleton Use
… exoskeletons hold promise in reducing the risk of work-related musculoskeletal disorders, however further research is essential before widespread adoption can occur. This study explores the feasibility of using subjective measures of physical demand in place of costly and less practical …

The acute effects of high-intensity interval and continuous aerobic exercise on physiological and functional outcomes in persons with multiple sclerosis
… sclerosis (MS) is an immune-mediated disease of the central nervous system that results in physiological deconditioning and walking impairments. High-intensity interval training exercise (HIIT) has induced significant improvements in physiological conditioning in healthy and clinical …

Physiological and perceptual responses during treadmill walking at a self-selected intensity in young and middle age women
… at 5 min intervals and during the final min of exercise. Results: The time required to expend 200 kcal during self-regulated treadmill exercise was significantly longer in MW than YW (31.4± 2.9 min vs. 27.1 ± 3.3 min). The treadmill velocity was significantly higher and the %VO2 max was …
