The article reports on research conducted to evaluate whether the rating of perceived exertion (RPE) scale would predict a broad range of explosive resistance training (ERT) intensities on the leg press in 21 older adults. Researchers found that the load-RPE relationship may simplify the regulation of intensity of ERT with older adults on the leg press, where the exercising older adult could be guided to select loads according to their RPE.
