The Perceived Exertion to Regulate a Training Program in Young Women

Abstract

The aim of this study was to compare the heart rate (HR) and the perceived exertion (PE) regulation of a training program in women and their effects on the cardiorespiratory responses. Twenty-seven women (mean age 22.4 ± 2.7 years) were randomly assigned to a control group (CG, n = 9), a heart rate group (HRG, n = 9), or a perceptive group (PG, n = 9). All subjects performed a maximal graded test (MGT) on a cycle ergometer before and after 6 weeks. The HR, V(O2)peak, maximal tolerated power (MTP), and PE were recorded during both MGTs. A 6-week interval training program was performed by both the HRG and PG. HR targets were used for the HRG and PE for the PG to readjust the power output. The results show that the V(O2)peak and the MTP increased significantly (p < 0.05) for both training groups, whereas the CG obtained no changes. As a consequence, PE could be a valuable tool to readjust the training load during an interval training program.

Perceptually Regulated Training at RPE13 Is Pleasant and Improves Physical Health

“…Despite this conceptual evidence, there is currently little research regarding the efficacy of a perceptually regulated training program to increase aerobic capacity. Celine et al (6) reported a 10% increase in V02max after 6 wk in nine healthy young (22.4 ± 2.7 yr) women, who perceptually regulated exercise intensity on a cycle ergometer at the RPE corresponding to the ventilatory threshold (VT). A 20-wk pilot study (10) on six elderly (70 ±7.1 yr) postmenopausal women used the RPE equating to 40%, 50%, and 60% of V02max (measured on a cycle ergometer) as the basis for controlling exercise intensity across a combination of treadmill walking, cycling, and stair climbing.…”

Pre Vertical Jump Performance to Regulate the Training Volume

“…This load increase also occurred in the other group when the HR at the end of the session was 10 bpm less than the previous session. The results presented by Céline et al [ 5 ] showed that both variables were able to regulate the load training. It was possible to identify the necessary increase in the load, which enhanced the maximal tolerated power and VO 2 peak at the end of 6 weeks of cycling training.…”

“…According to Gabbett [ 15 ] , some coaches neglected the information, trusting their intuitive ability to adjust the training loads. The eff ects of training load regulation were also studied using the RPE and the HR in young women [ 5 ] . When the RPE, measured at the end of session, was weak, the load of the next session was increased.…”
