Discuss the theory behind measuring RPE during exercise
The cardiovascular and metabolic responses that occur during exercise provide psychobiological cues that enable each individual to rate their perception of effort as a rating of perceived exertion on a 6 to 20 or 0 to 10 scale. The RPE provides a field assessment of the stress of the particular activity and is used to rate an individual's workload during cardiac rehabilitation, exercise training, exercise stress testing, and athletic performance. A large number of investigations have identified that an individual's RPE is influenced by personality structure, training status, physiologic responses, sex, and environmental conditions. These interactions have been identified as especially important during stressful activities.
