Influence of athlete heart rate, rate of perceived exertion, and anxiety in rowing practice and competition
<p>The purpose of this study was to investigate whether there is a significant correlation between heart rate (HR) and rate of perceived exertion (RPE) in rowing, how athlete perception of pre-race anxiety relates to HR and RPE, and how these variables change between practice and competition. Four …

Examining Sex Differences in Substrate Utilization During Threshold-Based Exercise Prescription
The traditional “relative percent method” (TRAD) of prescribing exercise (e.g. % of maximal oxygen uptake [%VO2max]) elicits sex specific amounts of metabolic stress and ratios of carbohydrate to fat oxidation that result in a lower steady-state respiratory exchange ratio (RER) in females. …
