Summary

Perceived exertion is influenced by both physiological and psychological factors. Understanding these determinants is crucial for developing a comprehensive theory of perceived exertion.

Area of Science:

  • Exercise Physiology
  • Psychophysiology
  • Sports Psychology

Background:

  • The study of perceived exertion has focused on identifying its antecedents, but existing literature presents contradictions.
  • A comprehensive theory of perceived exertion is currently lacking.
  • Physiological determinants (local and central factors) are traditionally considered dominant, with local factors often emphasized.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the existing literature on perceived exertion.
  • To highlight the fragmentation in research on psychological factors influencing perceived exertion.
  • To advocate for the integration of psychological and physiological variables for a multidimensional understanding.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of perceived exertion research.
  • Analysis of physiological and psychological determinants.
  • Examination of theoretical frameworks and their limitations.

Main Results:

  • Contradictory findings exist regarding the antecedents of perceived exertion.
  • Research on psychological factors is fragmented and lacks a theoretical base.
  • Psychological factors may be more influential in field settings than previously assumed.

Conclusions:

  • An integration of psychological and physiological variables is necessary for a meaningful theory of perceived exertion.
  • The dominance of physiological factors in perceived exertion is challenged, especially in real-world settings.
  • Identifying and understanding the integration of perceived exertion determinants is vital for theory development.
