Indeed, this method is not only valid for assessing the load relative to training sessions, but also to competition (with some practical issues for some competitions where it is not easy to set the exposure, e.g., team sports where changes are not limited, and therefore, each player's exposure is not easy to assess). A nominal score is given by an athlete to describe his RPE of “mean training intensity” during that training session or competition. The session-duration refers to the length of session expressed in minutes. The session-RPE method takes into consideration the intensity and the duration of the training session (or competition) to calculate the TL or competition load. Other studies were examined to explain the rationale of the session-RPE method and the origin of RPE. Studies using languages other than English were excluded in the analysis of the validity and reliability of the session-RPE method. Participants were athletes of any gender, age, or level of competition. Studies were considered for further analysis when they used the session-RPE method proposed by Foster et al. Search engines such as SPORTDiscus, PubMed, and Google Scholar databases, for the time period ranging between 20 were consulted for the validity and usefulness of the session-RPE method. Therefore, the objective of this review is to (1) Retrieve the literature validating the Session-rating of RPE-method using various criteria, (2) Highlight the rationale of this method and its ecological usefulness, and (3) Describe factors that can alter RPE that end-users of this method should take into consideration. The present review is proposed to assure a best understating of this method and its usefulness for monitoring training in athletes. This method, known as session-RPE method, takes into consideration both the intensity and the duration of a training session. ( 2001) proposed a method based on Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE). Several methods have been proposed to monitor the TL. That would assure the optimal adaptation to training before the competition and also reduce the risks of overtraining. Using a valid and reliable practical tool is imperative for monitoring the training load (TL) imposed on the athlete during every training session. This method could be used as “standing alone” method for training load (TL) monitoring purposes though some recommend to combine it with other physiological parameters as heart rate. 36 studies have examined the validity and reliability of this proposed method using the modified CR-10.Ĭonclusion: These studies confirmed the validity and good reliability and internal consistency of session-RPE method in several sports and physical activities with men and women of different age categories (children, adolescents, and adults) among various expertise levels. study that proposed the session RPE-method. Results: A total of 950 studies cited the Foster et al. Method: Search engines such as SPORTDiscus, PubMed, and Google Scholar databases in the English language between 20 were consulted for the validity and usefulness of the session-RPE method. Purpose: The aim of this review is to (1) retrieve all data validating the Session-rating of perceived exertion (RPE)-method using various criteria, (2) highlight the rationale of this method and its ecological usefulness, and (3) describe factors that can alter RPE and users of this method should take into consideration.
