How to use appropriately the RPE in patients on beta-blockade?

  • Are the patients on beta-blockade able to use the Borg RPE scale for effort estimation during a GXT on a cycle ergometer ?

  • Are they able to use the Borg RPE scale for exercise intensity production (60 % VO2max) in training sessions with an acceptable error margin after the ”familiarization” ?

  • Are they improving in their estimates with training and feedback in consecutive sessions ?

  • Is there any influence of neuroticism, as measured by EPI, on both effort estimation and production ?
