RPE-guided aerobic exercise program for chronic spinal cord injury does not influence RPE responses .
Perceptually regulated training does not influence the differentiated RPE response following 16-weeks of aerobic exercise in adults with spinal cord injury.
Appl Physiol Nutr Metab. 2020 Feb;45(2):129-134.Nineteen patients with chronic spinal cord injury were randomized to receive a 16 week aerobic training exercise program guided by the ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) scale or were given access to identical exercise equipment with no guidance. Outcomes of interest included peak oxygen uptake (VO2), peak respiratory exchange ratio, peak minute ventilation, peak heart rate, peak power output, peak peripheral RPE and peak central (cardiorespiratory) RPE. Results of the study found no significant differences between the two groups in all outcomes.
