be recommended for individuals who were judged to be in a 'high-risk' category.Finally, although our subjects were requested to produce selected levels of effort on only three consecutive occasions, there was a strong trend towards improved correspondence of RPE and both heart rate and V02 at the lower levels of RPE.This suggests that practice is required if RPE is to be employed with confidence as a prescriptive device where most judgements are likely to be made in the intermediate effort levels of the scale.References American College of Sports Medicine, 1986.Guidelines for graded exercise testing and prescription.Philadelphia, Lea and Febiger.Borg, G.
