Perceived Exertion Scale for Children
Updates: No further updates to the Perceived Exertion Scale for Children at this time. Article Summary Title: Prediction of peak oxygen uptake in children using submaximal ratings of perceived exertion during treadmill exercise Category: Screening and Evaluation Tool Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess (1) whether submaximal RPE, obtained during a single aerobic endurance test on a treadmill, can accurately predict VO2peak in children, and (2) whether the accuracy of the VO2peak predictions are influenced by the perceptual scale employed (CERT vs. EP Scale). Population: 50 children (n = 21 boys) with an average age of 9.4 ± 0.9, who were asymptomatic of any pre-existing injury or illness as determined by a health history questionnaire. These subjects were required to have signed parental consent and verbal child consent prior to participation. Methods/Outcome Measures and Intervention: Each participant performed a single graded exercise test on a treadmill in…
