Intensity vs. Weight vs. Heart rate Does rate of perceived exertion have a positive or negative correlation with weight loss? Amanda Mahler Tech and assess PHED35272
Objective Find out if weight has a correlation with RPE Talk about previous researches done on this topic Expand on my method Discuss the finding to the experiments done
Previous Effect of interval training intensity on fat oxidation, blood lactate and the rate of perceived exertion in obese men Shaea A Alkahtani 1*, Neil A King 2, Andrew P Hills 3 and Nuala M Byrne 2, moderate intensity interval training and high intensity interval training (MIIT and HIIT) showed greater fat oxidation, blood lactate, and rate of perceived exertion
Previous 4 week process of MIIT and HIIT training sessions MIIT- 5 minutes cycling session of 20% above and 20% below 45% VO2 max peak HIIT- 30 seconds at 90% VO2 max peak and 30 seconds rest Fat oxidation increased after MIIT and HIIT, without the RPE increasing increased fat oxidation, but the RPE did not affect the results
My Study
Correlation Study Correlation between o Weight vs. Heart Rate o Weight vs. RPE o Heart rate vs. RPE
Demographics 25 clients 12 female 13 male Average weight SD Average age SD Activity Experience level range (beginner, advanced)
Methods Weight, Heart Rate, and Rate of Perceived Exertion o participants showed up o Filled out questionnaire o Each group ran a mile as hard as they could o After mile they completed post-test o Results were then put into excel program

Results The first test was a correlation test between the participants’ weight and heart rate. According to the excel program the correlation came to: The second test was a correlation between the participants’ weight and RPE. According to the excel program the correlation came to: The third test was a correlation between the participants’ HR and RPE. According to the excel program the correlation came to: 0.81
Discussion The correlation between weight and RPE is slightly negative The correlation between weight and heart rate is almost equaled to zero The correlation between the Heart rate and RPE is positive
Discussion Future test o Include time to get better reading on RPE o Track and treadmill HR measures o running a test that measures if the results of running for 15 minutes at 85-90%Vo2max are greater than or equal to running at a 60%VO2max for 30 minutes
