Significant inverse relationships exist between RPE and average concentric velocity (ACV) during both exercises.
Coaches can use RPE to adjust training intensity based on velocity metrics.

More from this paper
- Well-trained males and females can accurately gauge intraset rating of perceived exertion (RPE) during moderate repetition sets on the front squat and hexagonal bar deadlift.Strong
- The difference between actual and predicted repetitions performed (RPE difference) is significantly lower at a called RPE of 9 compared to 6 in both exercises.Strong
