Abstract
Objective. To determine the association between perceived exertion (RPE) and physiological variables and to determine the
predictive factors of RPE during submaximal and maximal exertion in older adults. Method. Older adults from Kansas (n = 100)
and Costa Rica (n = 79) performed a submaximal and maximal stress test. RPE, education level and a total score of cognitive
function (CFTS) were collected. Correlation and multiple regression analyses were computed using RPE as the criterion variable
and oxygen consumption (VO2), respiratory exchange ratio (RER), CFTS and education level as predictors. Results. ere was a
signicant correlation between VEP and RER (r = 0.22, p = 0.029) at maximal exertion. e RPE predictors for women were
VO2, RER, and CFTS at different stages of the test. For men, VEP was predicted by RER, education level, and VO2 at different
stages. Conclusion. Metabolic and physiological variables predicted RPE in older adults. Age, cognition, and heart rate were
unrelated to RPE at maximal exertion, and RER predicted RPE scores during submaximal and maximal exertion.
