Book Perceived Exertion Laboratory Manual

Download or read book Perceived Exertion Laboratory Manual written by Luke Haile and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-11-07 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ​ ​This manual provides laboratory-based learning experiences in perceptually and psychosocially linked exercise assessment, prescription, and programming. The primary pedagogic outcome is the ability to use applied theory and practice in perceptual and psychosocial exercise assessment and program design to promote the adoption and maintenance of a physically active lifestyle, enhancing overall health fitness. Perceptual and psychosocial variables are presented in individual, stand-alone laboratory modules that can supplement existing curricula such as exercise and sport psychology, exercise physiology, exercise testing and prescription, and exercise training and conditioning. In addition, the complete modular set has a conceptual flow that allows its presentation as an entire, laboratory-based course. The laboratory modules are divided into three primary units: assessment (theoretical constructs, scales and procedures, tests), prescription (self-regulation, performance), and program evaluation. The manual uses a unique format in which case studies are embedded in the conceptual flow of each lab module facilitating translation of laboratory results to real-world application. The manual concludes with a discussion of perceptually and psychosocially linked exercise prescription and programming applications in public health, such as program monitoring and adherence.

Book Perceived Exertion for Practitioners

Download or read book Perceived Exertion for Practitioners written by Robert J. Robertson and published by Human Kinetics. This book was released on 2004 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With Perceived Exertion for Practitioners: Rating Effort With the OMNI Picture System,you'll have the most up-to-date, innovative way to rate clients' physical exertion in your professional practices. You'll be able to expand your knowledge of perceived exertion as used today by health and fitness specialists and clinical therapeutic practitioners, and you'll learn how to apply the newly developed OMNI Picture System of perceived exertion. Author and highly acclaimed researcher Robert Robertson developed the OMNI Picture System, which uses picture scales to enable exercisers to rate their exertion visually. In this text, Dr. Robertson presents real-life scenarios involving perceptually based exercise assessments and programming using the OMNI Scaling System. The scenarios focus on people with various training and conditioning needs, from improving personal health to developing recreational and competitive fitness. By rating their effort based on pictures of other exercisers, your clients will be able to accurately set and regulate their conditioning intensity using a target rating of perceived exertion (RPE) zone. Special features of Perceived Exertion for Practitionersinclude the following: -11 OMNI picture scales, which apply to all types of exercise and are reproducible for use as handouts, in fitness facilities, and in classrooms -Sample instructions on what to say to clients in various situations -Both clinical and field-based perceptual tests for use in aerobic, anaerobic, and resistance exercise assessments -Case studies that describe the clients' characteristics, identify the exercise need, and present an action plan to meet that need using RPE as the training zone -Actual programs for aerobic, anaerobic, and resistance training that employ OMNI Scale RPE zones to guide intensity Perceived Exertion for Practitionersgives you a broader understanding of perceived exertion, and you'll be able to apply what's in the text by using the 11 picture scales included. The text is a must-have for anyone looking for a better way to use ratings of perceived exertion to develop training programs.

Book Differentiated Ratings of Perceived Exertion and Selected Physiological Responses During Prolonged Upper and Lower Body Exercise

Download or read book Differentiated Ratings of Perceived Exertion and Selected Physiological Responses During Prolonged Upper and Lower Body Exercise written by Kent B. Pandolf and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined whether prolonged exercise employing upper or lower body muscle groups led to significant alterations in differentiated ratings of perceived exertion (diff RPE). Nine volunteer males performed 60 min of arm crank (AC) and cycle (CY) exercise at similar absolute (ABS) and at similar relative (REL) exercise intensities. There were no significant differences (P> 0.05) between AC and CY for oxygen uptake (VO2) during the ABS tests (about 1.60 1/min) or in percent ergometer specific peak VO2 during the REL tests (about 60%). Diff RPE included local RPE (muscle and joint exertion), central RPE (ventilatory and circulatory exertion), and overall RPE. During the ABS tests, the final means for all three diff RPE were lower (P 0.05) for CY than AC exercise. No differences (P 0.05) were found during the REL tests between AC and CY exercise for any of the diff RPE. Local RPE was generally higher than central RPE. Selected physiological responses accounted for more total variance in all diff RPE for AC than CY exercise. These data indicate that diff RPE may be more closely related to relative exercise intensity, and perceptual cues may be more readily monitored from smaller muscle masses such as the upper body.

Book The Physiological Responses and Perceived Exertion to Two Different Concurrent Training Bouts

Download or read book The Physiological Responses and Perceived Exertion to Two Different Concurrent Training Bouts written by Katie Lynn Sodowsky and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study was designed to assess fit individuals' physiological responses and perceived exertion to concurrent training. Two reversed concurrent exercise protocols were used that incorporated moderate to somewhat high intensities for both exercise modes, cardiovascular and resistance. Cardiovascular exercise was performed for 30 minutes at 70-75% of heart rate reserve (HRR). Resistance exercise included a 10-repetition maximum performance, including all major muscle groups for one set. The concurrent protocols integrated each mode of exercise in the opposite order of performance. Participants included six females and five males, ages 20-35 years, all of whom met the fit requirements set by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM). Physiological measurements included heart rate (HR), V02 uptake, respiratory exchange ratio (RER), METS, blood pressure (BP), and blood lactate (BL). Rating of perceived exertion (RPE) was also assessed. It was hypothesized that RER would be significantly lower and RPE would be significantly higher during cardiovascular exercise performed after resistance exercise. An ANOVA repeated measures test was used for statistical analyses and a Fisher's Protected Least Significant Difference (PLSD) post-hoc test was used to further analyze significant findings. No significant results were found that correlated to the purpose of the study. Overall higher BL measures were found with both exercise modes during Bout B, which may present an unfavorable training environment. Blood lactate was not statistically measured, however, results support the need for future research regarding BL and concurrent training. This research supports the employment of concurrent training of moderate to somewhat high intensity for fit individuals into their workout regimens.

Book The Effect of Beta Adrenergic Blockade on Ratings of Perceived Exertion

Download or read book The Effect of Beta Adrenergic Blockade on Ratings of Perceived Exertion written by Albert Anthony Hartzell and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to describe the effect of beta blockade and endurance training on ratings of perceived exertion (RPE). Forty-seven healthy but sedentary male subjects, age 17 to 34 years, were randomly assigned to one of three groups, i.e. placebo, propranolol (160 mg/day) and atenolol (100 mg/day), and completed a 15-week endurance training program. Training responses were evidenced in all groups by increases in maximal oxygen uptake and ventilation, along with a reduction in maximal heart rate. RPE was significantly reduced post-training in both the blocked and unblocked conditions. However, RPE for the same relative work rate was unchanged in all three groups. Thus, beta blockade does not attenuate the normal physiological response to endurance training, nor does it affect RPE when expressed in relative terms. Therefore, RPE can be used in exercise prescription to monitor relative exercise intensity.

Book Physiological Response to Cycling at Different Pedal Rates During High Intensity Interval Training

Download or read book Physiological Response to Cycling at Different Pedal Rates During High Intensity Interval Training written by Bryan C. Lund and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: This study compared the physiological responses to an acute bout of High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) done at different pedal rates. 9 participants performed 3, 20-minute HIIT protocols consisting of a 1:1 "work:recovery" ratio on a cycle ergometer at intensities equivalent to 80% and 50% (respectively) of their PPO found from a graded exercise test. Participants' freely chosen cadence were found then a high cadence (HC) and low cadence (LC) were then calculated to be 25% above and below that. During each HIIT session oxygen uptake (VO2), heart rate (HR), minute ventilation (V ́ E), blood lactate (bLa), and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) were measured. Averages, mean peak values, and mean nadir values were calculated then analyzed using a repeated measures ANOVA (p ≤0.05). HR, VO2, and V ́E were expressed as a percentage of the peak values obtained during the GXT. Results indicate a significant effect from cadence on all measures, but post hoc revealed varying results for the pairwise comparisons.
