BTEC First Award: RPE and Its Application in Training, Lecture notes of Physical Activity and Sport Sciences

Ivy Tech Community College - Central IndianaPhysical Activity and Sport Sciences

A study guide for Unit 1 of a BTEC First Award in Fitness for Sport and Exercise. It covers the concept of Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) and its relationship to aerobic and anaerobic training thresholds. Students will learn how to use the Borg RPE Scale to estimate heart rates and improve their aerobic endurance.

WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING USES OXYGEN AND WHICH DOES NOT- AEORBIC AND ANAEROBIC TRAINING THRESHOLDS? Question 1 AEROBIC= with OXYGEN ANAEROBIC= without OXYGEN

  • Aerobic
  • Anaeorbic

WHAT % ARE YOU WORKING IN IF YOUR WORKING IN YOUR AEROBIC THRESHOLD? Question 2 60% - 85%

Borg Scale

  • The Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) is a way of measuring physical activity intensity level.
  • Perceived exertion is how hard you feel like your body is working. It is based on the physical sensations a person experiences during physical activity, including increased heart rate, increased respiration or breathing rate, increased sweating, and muscle fatigue.
  • Although this is a subjective measure, a person's exertion rating may provide a fairly good estimate of the actual heart rate during physical activity* (Borg, 1998). - Intensity - Respiration - Muscle fatigue

Rate of Perceived Exertion

  • RPE can be used to estimate Heart Rate (HR).
  • If a persons rate of perceived exertion is between 12 and 14 this is seen to

be physically active at a moderate intensity.

  • There is a relationship between RPE and heart rate:
  • RPE x 10 = Heart rate (bpm).
  • Lets try it ………….
  • At this level a performers AEROBIC ENDURANCE would be improved.
    • RPE X 10 = Heart Rate (HR) (bpm

MERIT

• RPE

RPE– Task 3 Teddy is playing football for 40 minutes his RPE is 11, estimate his heart rate. RPE X 10 = Heart Rate (HR) (bpm) Use the formula above to estimate the persons HR. Gemma is swimming for 60 minutes his RPE is 16, estimate her heart rate. John is competing in a Triathlon his RPE is Very hard, estimate his heart rate. Extension Set a question for the person you are sat next to, make sure you know the answer and how to work it out using the scale.
