Subjective perception of effort accurately predicts endurance capacity in paraplegic athletes. This method aligns with critical power (CP) testing, validating its use for assessing individual exercise limits.

Area of Science:

  • Exercise Physiology
  • Sports Science
  • Rehabilitation

Background:

  • Assessing endurance capacity is crucial for training and performance optimization.
  • Critical Power (CP) is a physiological parameter used to predict endurance limits.
  • Subjective perception of effort offers a potentially accessible alternative for endurance assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare subjective perception of effort with critical power (CP) for predicting endurance capacity.
  • To validate the 'iso-perception' curves derived from subjective effort against established CP determination methods.
  • To evaluate the utility of subjective effort in trained paraplegic individuals.

Main Methods:

  • Two protocols were used: a graded/continuous arm ergometry test measuring cardiorespiratory and subjective (Borg scale) parameters, and a constant-power test to determine CP.

  • Statistical regression analysis generated individual 'iso-perception' curves.
  • Paraplegic subjects performed tests to exhaustion at varying constant power outputs (50, 37.5, 25 W).

    • Main Results:

    • A strong relationship was found between time to exhaustion and work performed during constant-power tests.
    • The subjective perception of effort method demonstrated validity in predicting individual endurance capacity.
    • Results confirmed the predictive capability of subjective effort, aligning with CP findings.

    Conclusions:

    • Subjective perception of effort is a valid and reliable method for predicting endurance capacity in trained paraplegic individuals.
    • The 'iso-perception' curves derived from subjective effort correlate well with critical power.
    • This study supports the use of subjective effort assessment as a practical tool in exercise physiology and rehabilitation.
