Key result
An 8-week perceptually regulated exercise training program at RPE13 significantly improved VO2max, mean arterial pressure, total cholesterol, and BMI in sedentary individuals (P<0.01).

Supports RPE13 perceptually regulated training for sedentary adults; extends RCT evidence for self-paced exercise on cardiometabolic outcomes.
Parfitt et al. (2012) conducted an RCT in Sedentary (n=26). Perceptually regulated exercise training (PRET) at RPE13 vs. Control was evaluated on Aerobic fitness (VO2max), mean arterial pressure, total cholesterol, and body mass index (p=<0.01). An 8-week perceptually regulated exercise training program at RPE13 significantly improved VO2max, mean arterial pressure, total cholesterol, and BMI in sedentary individuals (P<0.01).
