Why the study?
Do passive sensory stimulations (auditory, visual, or both) alter ratings of perceived exertion during moderate intensity exercise in college subjects?
Population
24 college subjects (13 men, 11 women)
Comparison
Passive attentional manipulations during 20-min… vs Control condition (no stimulation)
Design
RCT, randomly assigned
Follow-up
20 minutes

Visual stimulation alone heightens RPE versus auditory or combined inputs; extends evidence on sensory modulation of effort perception.
Do passive sensory stimulations (auditory, visual, or both) alter ratings of perceived exertion during moderate intensity exercise in college subjects?
High-action visual images during moderate exercise may heighten awareness of physical sensations and increase perceived exertion compared to auditory or combined stimulations.
White et al. (1996) studied this question.
