Study summary
Objective and perceived feedback in trained back-squat participants
- Feedback
- Velocity-based training
In brief
This thesis explored how perceived exertion and perceived lifting velocity related to measured velocity loss in trained participants. It reported a relationship between perceived exertion and velocity loss, together with little difference between perceived and measured velocity in this sample. Both forms of feedback may therefore contribute useful context.
What was studied
Twelve participants aged 22 to 27 with more than two years of consistent strength training completed two sessions: a one-repetition maximum session followed by comparisons of velocity loss, CR10 RPE and perceived lifting velocity.
What the source reported
- 01
The thesis reported a relationship between perceived exertion and measured velocity loss.
- 02
Participants' perceived lifting velocity was close to the measured velocity in this sample.
- 03
The author concluded that objective and subjective measures can both inform control of intensity and volume for trained individuals.
How to interpret the findings
The sample was small, trained and assessed in a short two-session design. The findings do not show that subjective perception can replace measurement in other populations or exercises.
