NSCA CPSS Chapter 17: Perception of
Effort and Subjective Monitoring ACTUAL
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
- external load - CORRECT ANSWERS athlete's performance
output
ex. movement and activity counts during session
means by which internal load is induced
internal load - CORRECT ANSWERS within-exercise
biochemical and biomechanical response to external load
perception - CORRECT ANSWERS elaboration of elementary
experiences provided by sensory system
active process of detailing and organizing sensorial info within brain
to give a meaning
perception of effort/sense of effort/perceived exertion - CORRECT
ANSWERS conscious sensation of how hard and strenuous a
physical task is
perceived exertion depends mainly on how hard or easy it feels to
either ____ - CORRECT ANSWERS breathe or contract the
working limbs
, session RPE (sRPE) - CORRECT ANSWERS post-hoc
appraisal of effort experienced during period of training or
competition
limitation and benefit of sRPE - CORRECT ANSWERS doesnt
accurately reflect structure-specific nature of different exercise
modalities, but provides global measure that is useful for
understanding how athlete perceived and tolerated the load
category scale - CORRECT ANSWERS verbal labels assigned
to a number on an interval scale
exponential growth/ratio function - CORRECT ANSWERS
same change in a stimulus causes greater changes in the
response (RPE)
category ratio (CR) scales - CORRECT ANSWERS scale that
includes discrete categories of absolute effort, but difference b/w
categories is exponential
reliability - CORRECT ANSWERS degree of consistency and
reproducibility in a measure
training monotony - CORRECT ANSWERS day to day
variability in athelte's weekly training load
= average daily load / SD
