We hypothesised that the strong relationship between the ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) and would enable to be predicted and that this would improve with practice. Ten male volunteers performed a graded exercise test (GXT) to establish followed by three sub-maximal RPE production protocols on a cycle ergometer, each separated by a period of 48 h.enperceptual-regulationgraded exercise testmaximal oxygen uptakeArticle1439-6327European Journal of Applied Physiology
