Ratings of Perceived Exertion and Physiological Parameters of Muscle Metabolism in Postmenopausal Women: A Comparison Between Water- and Land-Based Exercise

We compared responses from postmenopausal women living a sedentary lifestyle (n = 15; Mean age= 59; SD = 4.2) to a single bout of water- or land-based exercise with respect to ratings of perceived exertion (RPE), lactate concentration, and muscle …

Physiological responses to interval endurance exercise at different levels of blood flow restriction

Purpose: We aimed to identify a blood flow restriction (BFR) endurance exercise protocol that would both maximize cardiopulmonary and metabolic strain, and minimize the perception of effort. Methods: Twelve healthy males (23 ± 2 years, 75 ± 7 kg) …
