“…During the all-out session, participants were instructed to complete the maximum number of repetitions possible for each round. In the RPE6 session, they performed the same conditioning session, but were told to self-regulate the intensity of their effort based on a perception of effort of six (hard) out of 10 on an adapted version of the Borg CR-10 scale ( Foster et al, 2001 ; Morishita et al, 2018 ). In order to achieve this, participants were instructed to take more breaks if needed or to pace themselves in the execution of their exercises to keep the perception of effort at the desired level.…”

“…RPE was collected as previously described ( Tibana et al, 2018 ). The RPE was measured before, immediately after the exercise, and 30 min after the session, utilizing an adapted version of the Borg CR-10 scale ( Foster et al, 2001 ; Morishita et al, 2018 ; Figure 2 ). The CR-10 scale is a 11-point Likert scale, varying from 0 to 10, with nominal descriptors attached to specific intensities.…”

Despite its increase in popularity, little is known about how to best quantify internal training loads from functional fitness training (FFT) sessions. The purpose of this study was to assess which method [training impulse (TRIMP) or session rating of perceived exertion (sRPE)] is more accurate to monitor training loads in FFT. Eight trained males (age 28.1 ± 6.0 years) performed an ALL-OUT FFT session and an intensity-controlled session (RPE of six out of 10). Internal load was determined via Edward’s TRIMP (eTRIMP), Bannister’s TRIMP (bTRIMP), and sRPE. Heart rate was measured continuously during the session, while blood lactate and rate of perceived exertion were measured at baseline, and immediately and 30 min after the sessions. ALL-OUT blood lactate and RPE were significantly higher immediately and 30 min after the session compared to the RPE6 condition. ALL-OUT training load was significantly different between conditions using bTRIMP (61.1 ± 10.6 vs. 55.7 ± 12.4 AU) and sRPE (91.7 ± 30.4 vs. 42.6 ± 14.9 AU), with sRPE being more sensitive to such differences [ p = 0.045, effect size (ES) = 0.76 and p = 0.002, ES = 1.82, respectively]. No differences in the training loads of the different sessions were found using eTRIMP (93.1 ± 9.5 vs. 84.9 ± 13.7 AU, p = 0.085). Only sRPE showed a significant correlation with lactate 30 min post session ( p = 0.015; p = 0.596, large). sRPE was more accurate than both TRIMP methods to represent the overall training load of the FFT sessions. While the use of sRPE is advised, further research is necessary to establish its ability to reflect changes in fitness, fatigue, and performance during a period of training.

“…The data were collected as previously described by Tibana, et al [17]. The RPE was measured before, during (immediately after 4, 10, and 16 min), and immediately after exercise, by the RPE CR10 Borg scale adapted from Foster, et al [18] and Morishita, et al [19], an instrument composed by a Likert type scale of 11 points, varying from 0 to 10, initiated with “very, very light“ and terminated with “very, very hard “. The following instructions were used to ensure that each participant clearly understood what the RPE scale was and how it was to be used to regulate their exercise intensity.…”

The purpose of this study was to assess whether the self-regulation of training intensity based on rating of perceived exertion (RPE) is a reliable method to control the intensity during metabolic conditioning sessions of functional fitness. In addition, the relationship between RPE and the changes in heart rate, number of repetitions, and lactate responses was also analyzed. Eight male participants (age 28.1 ± 5.4 years; body mass 77.2 ± 4.4 kg; VO2 max: 52.6 ± 4.6 mL·(kg·min)−1 completed two sessions (five to seven days apart), in a randomized order, under different conditions, as follows: (1) all-out (ALL), or (2) self-regulation of intensity based on an RPE of six (hard) on the Borg CR-10 scale (RPE6). The rating of perceived exertion, lactate (LAC), and heart rate (HR) response were measured before, during, and immediately after the sessions. The RPE and LAC during the all-out sessions were higher (p < 0.0005) than the RPE6 session for all of the analyzed time points during the session. There was no difference in the HR area under the curve for the all-out and RPE6 sessions. The average number of repetitions performed was lower (p ≤ 0.009) for the RPE6 session (190.5 ± 12.5 repetitions) when compared to the all-out session (214.4 ± 18.6 repetitions). There was a significant correlation between the RPE and LAC (p = 0.005; r = 0.66; large) and number of repetitions during the session (p = 0.026; r = 0.55; large). No correlation was observed between the RPE and HR (p = 0.147; r = 0.380). These results indicate that the self-regulation of intensity of effort based on the RPE may be a useful tool to control the exercise intensity during a metabolic conditioning session of functional fitness.

Background: The Borg scale is used to determine exercise intensity in rehabilitation but can be difficult for older adults to understand. By contrast, face scale that are used to evaluate pain are much easier to understand thanks to the inclusion of illustrations. On the other hand, the prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) increases with age. We aimed to investigate the correlation between face scale for rating of perceived exertion (RPE) and various physiological parameters during cardiopulmonary exercise testing in older adults and AF patients. We also investigated the relationship between Face Scale and anaerobic threshold (AT).Methods: Patients were asked to perform a ramp cardiopulmonary exercise test with an incremental increase in work rate (WR) of 10 watts/min, using a stationary bicycle until maximum fatigue. We recorded participant responses using a face scale for RPE compared with WR, heart rate (HR), oxygen uptake (VO₂), and minute ventilation (VE) every minute during the exercise test. We determined the AT by the V-slope method.Results: We enrolled 90 sinus rhythm (SR) patients (74 men 16 women) and 22 AF patients. For SR men, SR women and AF, there were significant positive correlations between the face scale RPE and HR, VO₂, WR, and VE. There was no statistically significant differences difference in correlation coefficient between age and SR or AF. The cutoff value for AT of the Face Scale was “4” and it showed high sensitivity and specificity.Conclusions: These results suggest that the face scale can be used to determine the intensity of physical exercise equivalent to AT unaffected by age, gender, SR or AF.
