Gender comparison of RPE at absolute and relative physiological criteria

Article Abstract:

This article compares the levels of perceived exertion in physically fit males and females during intense aerobic exercise. Results indicate that there are no significant gender differences in physical exertion perception during exercise when comparisons are made using cardiovascular and metabolic physiological reference criteria.

Variability in muscle size and strength gain after unilateral resistance training

Article Abstract:

A study assessed variability in muscle size and strength changes in a large cohort of men and women after a unilateral resistance-training program in the elbow flexors. It is concluded that men had only a slight advantage in relative size gains compared with women, whereas women outpaced men in relative gains in strength.

The influence of fitness and body weight on preferred exercise intensity

Article Abstract:

A study aims to determine the individual and combined effects of aerobic fitness and body weight on physiological responses, perceived exertion, and speed variables during self-selected steady-state treadmill (TM) walking in healthy college-age women. Findings suggest that fitness, and not body weight, influences preferred exercise intensity as measured by % oxygen uptake (VO2 max) during TM walking in college-age women.
