The reliability of an isometric test based on constant perception of effort
… no documented procedure to extrapolate findings of an isometric nature to a whole body performance setting. The purpose of this study was to quantify the reliability of perceived exertion to control neuromuscular output during an isometric contraction. 21 varsity athletes completed a maximal …

Mental strategies and the perception of effort : implications for the psychological training of marathon runners
… or whether the perchance or purposeful adoption of a cognitive strategy enhances performance (Cratty, 1983). In their effort to find a causal relationship, psychologists have endeavoured to understand the mental processes of athletes, speculating on how the quality or quantity of their thoughts …

Acute Cardiovascular Response and Perception of Effort Between the Super Slow and Gold Standard Resistance Training Protocols
… aerobic exercise. However, whether this type of training is safe for the older, possibly hypertensive population to which it is being targeted is questionable. To help provide an answer to this question the purpose of this study was to measure blood pressure, heart rate (HR), and ratings of …

Accuracy of prediction of edurance running performance : relationship to training history, muscle pain and relative perception of effort
… muscle damage, and fatigue. The accuracy of prediction of running performance allows for the consideration of the effects of teleoanticipatory factors such as pacing and prior experience on performance. However, previous studies have not adequately considered the role of predicting …

Influence of mild dehydration on perception of effort and execution of golf and mental concentration tests in female collegiate golfers
… detriment for athletes and, in a matter of days, total absence causes fatality for all. Despite this, several reports suggest that an overwhelming amount of the athletic population competes and trains in a dehydrated state. The impact of dehydration on leisure sports, such as golf, is …

Accuracy of the prediction of Ironman performance : relationship to training history, muscle pain and relative perception of effort during, and recovery after the race
… the physiological and genetic contribution of performance in athletes, different training programs and athletes' adaptation to these programs. Other studies have investigated levels of pain and relative perception of effort (RPE) and the athlete's ability to recover after endurance races... …

Fatigue-Independent Alterations in Muscle Activation and Effort Perception During Forearm Exercise: The Role of Local Oxygen Delivery
In exercise, the sensations of effort to make the muscles do exercise can contribute to an individual’s decision to stop exercise or decrease exercise intensity. Skeletal muscle fatigue is one mechanism by which the effort required to continue exercise can be increased. In order to continue …

Differences in five kilometer time trial performance during the recovery period after an ultramarathon race
… negative effects may be mediated by an increased perception of effort. There is a lack of evidence regarding the effects of ultramarathon distance races on running performance, and the optimal duration of the recovery period before returning to competitive running. The aim of this study was to …

The effects of carbohydrate supplementation on mood states of bodybuilders consuming a low energy diet
Many bodybuilders attempt to lose large amounts of weight in short periods of time through the use of low energy diets. Research suggests that consumption of a low energy, low carbohydrate diet may negatively affect mood states. Further research suggests that carbohydrate consumption can positively …

The effects of caffeine sensitivity on metabolic substrate use and performance
… placed into HS and LS groups based on a series of 6 isokinetic cycle ergometer rides in which perceived exertion was held constant and work output was measured. Subjects who performed significantly more work following caffeine ingestion were classified as HS while those who did not were …

A tale of two grades: an evaluation of Grading for Learning, a middle school grading reform
… multiple methods to evaluate the implementation of a grading reform initiated by two math teachers in a large traditional middle school in greater Minnesota. The reform, titled "Grading for Learning," was developed based on a review of scholarly research and a collaboration of an …

Physiological And Perceptual Responses To Alternate Modes Of Exercise At Self Selected Or Prescribed Intensity Between Overweight And Non-Overweight Individuals
Purpose: To investigate the influence of body weight, exercise modality, and pace on physiological and perceptual responses during walking. Also, to determine if the relationship between physiological and perceptual responses was altered by modality, pace, or weight status. Methods: Aerobically …

Physiological effects of a low intensity chair-based exercise program for the elderly
… females, were evaluated to determine the effects of a low intensity, chair-based exercise program on selected physiological parameters. Exercise sessions were held 3 alternate days per week, 45 minutes per session, for 8 weeks. Subjects were exercise tested before and after training using a …

Desenvolvimento e validação de gel de carboidratos à base de água de coco em pó para reposição energética de atletas
The availability and metabolism of carbohydrates can influence both processes of (neurological) and peripheral (muscle) fatigue. Performance exercises can be hampered by reducing carbohydrate levels, thus decreasing muscle arousal process. Facing this problem, this study aimed to develop and …

The acute effects of transcranial direct current stimulation on the performance of velocity based squat training
… This effect is mainly attributed to the ability of tDCS to modulate the cerebral cortex, influencing motor response and fatigue resistance. However, it is still unclear which cortical area is optimal for stimulation, as there is limited and inconclusive evidence comparing different brain regions. …

The effect of cognitive strategies on endurance performance
Subjectively perceived pain or effort is a major factor which limits endurance performance. It has been claimed that cognitive strategies can mediate perceived effort and enhance endurance performance (Morgan & Pollock, 1977). These authors have suggested that association, focusing on bodily …

The rating of perceived challenge- the relationship between player and coach perceptions of rugby training
… that the coach's and player's understanding of the training load is alike to avoid maladaptation and to modify future training sessions. The first part of this thesis aims to synthesise research that investigates the relationship between coach RPE and player RPE by means of a systematic …
