Perceived Exertion [PDF]

open access: possibleSports Medicine, 1993
The field of perceived exertion has largely concerned itself with the problem of identifying the primary antecedents to this psychophysiological phenomenon. A vast literature has evolved addressing this problem, but it is fraught with contradictions. At this stage a comprehensive theory of perceived exertion does not exist.

Ratings of perceived exertion

2022
Following two decades of research, Gunnar Borg’s original rating of perceived exertion (RPE) scale was accepted in 1973 as a valid tool within the field of exercise science and sports medicine (Noble and Robertson, 1996). His seminal research provided the basic tool for numerous studies in which an individual’s effort perception was of interest.

Perceived exertion and the preferred cycling cadence

Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 1998
To determine whether an association exists between peripheral comfort level, as reflected by differentiated RPE measures, and the preferred cadences of subjects who differed in cycling experience and fitness level.Twelve experienced cyclists (C), ten runners (R), and ten less-trained noncyclists (LT), all of whom were male, pedaled at three power ...

Gender and Contraction Mode on Perceived Exertion

International Journal of Sports Medicine, 2010
The purpose of this study was to examine perceived exertion responses during concentric and eccentric elbow flexor contractions between young adult men and women. Thirty healthy young adults participated in two experimental sessions. During the first session, subjects performed five concentric isokinetic maximal voluntary contractions (MVC) of elbow ...

Perceived Exertion

Physical Therapy, 1984
Physical therapists are well aware of the physiological responses to exercise. The process by which these underlying mechanisms contribute to the perceptual response of perceived exertion is generally less familiar. The purpose of this article is to summarize briefly some of the current major concepts about perceived exertion and to indicate, where ...

Perceived Exertion of Professional Hockey Players

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1979
18 professional hockey players were tested on the treadmill with a modified Balke procedure and also for maximum isokinetic strength with the Cybex II instrument. Immediately after each test the subject completed the Borg Scale of Perceived Exertion. The treadmill effort was perceived as being “somewhat hard work” while the maximum strength effort was

Perceived Exertion and Stimulus Intensity Modulation

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1977
Perceptual augmentation and reduction were considered contrasting styles of Stimulus Intensity Modulation. Differences in perceived exertion between augmenters and reducers were determined for three cycle ergometer work loads. Subjects were 20 males having similar physiological characteristics.

Psychophysical bases of perceived exertion

Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 1982
There is a great demand for perceptual effort ratings in order to better understand man at work. Such ratings are important complements to behavioral and physiological measurements of physical performance and work capacity. This is true for both theoretical analysis and application in medicine, human factors, and sports.

Movement and Time: Exertion and Perceived Duration

Nursing Science Quarterly, 1991
This study examined differences in consciousness indexes (perceived duration of time) at different levels of physical exertion within the framework of Newman's model of health and with emphasis on Prigogine's theory of dissipative structures. The sample consisted of 100 volunteers participating in regular aerobic exercise.
