Exertion therapy for the mentally subnormal child.
… out to examine the effects of dynamic physical exertion therapy on the intellectual and social functioning of mentally subnormal children. A static physical exertion therapy condition served as control intervention. Thirty two institutionalised children matched on age, sex and diagnostic …

The Regulation of Effort Exertion by the Nucleus Accumbens Core
… to play an important role in regulating effort exertion. Effort can be explained as the energetic costs of an action relative to its long-term benefits. Using fixed-ratio schedules of reinforcement, different effort requirements can be imposed upon mice, as the cost per benefit is determined by …

Modelling the additivity of perceived exertion in symmetric, mid-sagittal lifting
… 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 "task …

Factors affecting ratings of perceived exertion across a spectrum of health and disease
Perceived exertion is how hard or heavy an individual feels they are working. Perceived exertion is often quantified using the ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) scale and can be used to measure exercise intensity based on the experience of an individual. While objective methods of assessing …

The Effects of Resistance Deception on Muscular Strength, Muscular Endurance, and Perceived Exertion
… on strength, muscular endurance, and perceived exertion and the mechanisms of action that may elicit changes are still unclear. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the effects of resistance deception on muscular strength, muscular endurance, and perceived exertion in a trained …

Ergonomic evaluation of shoulder muscle activation during light weight hand tool exertion task
… effect of shoulder muscle activation during hand exertion tasks using a light weight hand tool by working individuals. Electromyography (EMG) of trapezius, supraspinatus, triceps, and pectoralis major was conducted for 45 , 0 and -45 arm angles, for three different reaches i.e. normal, maximum and …

Quantifying Exertion for American Football Linemen via Force, Acceleration, and Heart Rate Measurements
Understanding exertion during exercise helps athletes prevent injuries and train at an optimal level. Currently, there exist metrics to determine exertion levels that are specific to individual activities that are mostly dynamic in nature. American football linemen spend most of their energy …

The Effects of Music Preference and Exercise Intensity on Exercise Enjoyment and Perceived Exertion
… intensity on exercise enjoyment and perceived exertion. Participants (N=200) began by completing a music preference questionnaire. Each participant was randomly assigned to one of three music preference conditions (most preferred, least preferred, or no music). Next, they were asked to walk/run …
