Key result
Face scale RPE strongly correlates with HR, exercise load, and VO2 during CPET in men.
Why the study?
The study aimed to investigate the correlation between the face scale rating of perceived exertion and heart rate, exercise load, and oxygen uptake during cardiopulmonary exercise testing.

The face scale rating of perceived exertion is highly correlated with physiological parameters (HR, VO2, exercise load) during cardiopulmonary exercise testing in healthy young adults, suggesting it is a valid tool for determining exercise intensity.
Morishita et al. (2018) conducted an observational in Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (n=51). Face scale rating of perceived exertion vs. Borg scale was evaluated on Correlation between face scale RPE and physiological parameters (HR, exercise load, VO2) (p=<0.01). The face scale rating of perceived exertion was significantly correlated with heart rate (ρ=0.856), exercise load (ρ=0.888), and VO2 (ρ=0.878) in men during cardiopulmonary exercise testing.
