title: Effect of viewing the RPE scale on the ability to make ratings of perceived exertion.
abstract: 7 subjects exercised while viewing and not viewing the Rating of Perceived Exertion scale during exercise to assess whether ratings of perceived exertion are influenced by viewing the scale itself. Analysis suggested that monitoring moderate to high intensity exercise without viewing the RPE scale may result in an underestimation of exertion.
