| Summary |
Cowritten by two of the world's leading researchers in the field, the book examines these topics: The background and development of perceived exertion including the development of Borg's RPE (rating of perceived exertion) scale and other measurement models, how physiological and psychological factors affect perceived exertion, the use of RPE in exercise testing and prescription, and the authors' global model of perceived exertion |
