Abstract EN
The rating of perceived exertion (RPE) is ability to detect and interpret organic sensations while performing exercises.
This method has been used to measure the level of effort that is felt during weight-training at a given intensity.
The purpose of this investigation was to compare session RPE values with those of traditional RPE measurements for different weight-training muscle actions, performed together or separately.
Fourteen women with no former weight-training experience were recruited for the investigation.
All participants completed five sessions of exercise: familiarization, maximum force, concentric-only (CONC-only), eccentric-only (ECC-only), and dynamic (DYN = CONC + ECC).
The traditional RPE method was measured after each series of exercises, and the session RPE was measured 30 min after the end of the training session.
The statistical analyses used were the paired t-test, one-way analysis of variance, and repeated measures analysis of variance.
Significant differences between traditional RPE and session RPE for DYN, CONC, and ECC exercises were not found.
This investigation demonstrated that session RPE is similar to traditional RPE in terms of weight-training involving concentric, eccentric, or dynamic muscle exercises, and that it can be used to prescribe and monitor weight-training sessions in older subjects.
