Perceived exertion

Question 1

what is perceived exertion

Answer 1

subjective intensity value of effort strain disco fort or fatigue during physical activity

Question 2

what is perceived exertion used for

Answer 2

quantifying monitoring and regulating physical exertion

Question 3

global model of perceived exertion components

Answer 3

respiratory - ventilation, o2 uptake, metabolic acidosis
psychological - anxiety, motivation
performance - audience, strategy, positioning
exertional - sweat, breathing, skin temp

Question 4

what is RPE

Answer 4

Externalisation of physiological and psychological processes via the sensory afferent system

Question 5

heart rate equation using RPE

Answer 5

hr = 10xRPE

Question 6

borg CR10 ration scale

Answer 6

0-10

Question 7

Borg 6-20 +ve

Answer 7

gold standard lab based testing
valid and reliable in adult populations
adaptations required to help children interpret scale

Question 8

exercise modality

Answer 8

mode of exercise influences RPE eg revs on a bike or lower RPE for cycling after cycling training

Question 9

what’s rpe influenced by

Answer 9

exercise modality
type
level of training

Question 10

teleo-anticipation

Answer 10

implies effort perception may be a feedforward system where exercise intensity is refined based upon afferent feedback

Question 11

application of RPE

Answer 11

predict max capacity
estimation - production for the prescription of exercise
predict time to exhaustion
longitudinal monitoring of training load

Question 12

prediction of max capacity

Answer 12

submax linear workload - RPE relationship can be extrapolated to provide predictions of max capacity when max testing isn’t appropriate

Question 13

familiarisation

Answer 13

better correlation for VO2 max and Hr with practice (3 trials)

Question 14

estimation - production trials

Answer 14

exercise intensity at an RPE elicited during an exercise task of a fixed intensity and puts self regulate intensity to produce require intensity via adjusting speed, gradient or resistance

Question 15

issue with estimation - production trials for prescription of exercise

Answer 15

evidence is insufficient to support using these methods as a primary method of exercise prescription

Question 16

estimating time to exhaustion

Answer 16

constant load exercise at 55-70% peak power output in hot or cold

Question 17

longitudinal monitoring of load

Answer 17

exertion of session 0-10 eg 6
duration - minutes eg 60
session RPE eg 6x60=360

(RESISTANCE TRAINING MULTIPLY EXERTION with number of reps not time)

Question 18

considerations

Answer 18

familiarisation improves accuracy when self regulating
larger inter-individual differences in ratings between individuals
audience effects when assessing RPE in group environment

Question 19

teleo-anticipation process

Answer 19

efferent commands - muscle heart - afferent sensations - brains - interpretation against expected outcome - conscious perception of exertion
