Key result
Rating of perceived exertion (RPE) of 13 and 14 and the responses of VE/W and [lac]/W to submaximal exercise accurately predicted lactate threshold in men with type 2 diabetes.
Why the study?
Does rating of perceived exertion accurately predict lactate threshold during an incremental test in men with type 2 diabetes?
Observational (n=15)
Does rating of perceived exertion accurately predict lactate threshold during an incremental test in men with type 2 diabetes?
Rating of perceived exertion (specifically RPE 13 and 14) can accurately predict lactate threshold during incremental exercise in men with type 2 diabetes.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support RPE 13-14 for lactate threshold estimation in type 2 diabetes; leaves open validation before replacing lactate measures in practice or trials.
Simões et al. (2010) conducted an observational in Type 2 diabetes (n=15). Rating of perceived exertion (RPE) was evaluated on Lactate threshold prediction. Rating of perceived exertion (RPE) of 13 and 14 and the responses of VE/W and [lac]/W to submaximal exercise accurately predicted lactate threshold in men with type 2 diabetes.
