Abstract

This study tested the hypothesis that the increase in rating of perceived exertion (RPE) predicts the duration of exercise to exhaustion during exercise in hot conditions. Seven subjects performed five cycling trials in an environmental chamber at temperatures of 15 degrees C (C) and 35 degrees C (H). The cool trials were performed at intensities of 65 and 70% and the hot trials at 55, 60 and 65%. RPE, rectal and skin temperature were measured during trials. Duration to fatigue was significantly shorter in H65 and C70 than H60, C65 and H55 (P < 0.05). RPE rose linearly throughout each trial and the rate of increase in RPE was significantly faster in H65 and C70 than H55 (P < 0.05). There was an inverse linear relationship between trial duration and rate of increase in RPE (r = 0.83). Rectal temperature increased linearly throughout the trial and correlated significantly with RPE (r = 0.92). This study shows that the rate of increase in RPE predicts the duration of exercise to exhaustion at a constant power output in different environmental conditions.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 25 November 2020.
All research outputs
#6,443,738
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from European Journal of Applied Physiology
#1,653
of 4,345 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#25,225
of 87,287 outputs
Outputs of similar age from European Journal of Applied Physiology
#11
of 27 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 74th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,345 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 14.6. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 61% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 87,287 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 71% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 27 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 59% of its contemporaries.
