Summary

The Children's Effort Rating Table (CERT) assesses perceived exertion in children aged 6-9. This tool is crucial for understanding how young children perceive physical activity intensity.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric exercise science
  • Psychophysiology of physical activity

Background:

  • Adults use Borg's Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) to measure exercise intensity.
  • A validated tool is needed to assess perceived exertion in younger children.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the rationale for developing the Children's Effort Rating Table (CERT).
  • To provide a tool for assessing perceived exertion in children aged 6-9 years.

Main Methods:

  • Development of the Children's Effort Rating Table (CERT).
  • Comparison of CERT to established measures like Borg's RPE.
  • Initial validation research on the CERT tool.

Main Results:

  • The CERT tool has been developed based on principles similar to Borg's RPE.
  • Preliminary validation studies for the CERT have been conducted.

Conclusions:

  • The CERT provides a method for assessing perceived exertion in young children (6-9 years).
  • This tool supports research into the development of effort perception in pediatric populations.
