Description
Summary:The aim of this study was to compare the relationship between the subjective perception of exercise intensity and the physiological response by elite endurance athletes and the non-athlete population. The research sample consisted of elite-level short triathlon athletes from the Czech Republic (n = 23; 14 men and 9 women) and non-athletes who were students (n = 15; 9 men and 6 women). The data were collected according to a graded exercise test using a bicycle ergometer. At the end of each section, a blood sample was collected from the fingertip of an upper extremity for blood lactate level analysis, and the current HR was measured. To assess the subjective perception of objective exercise intensity, the participants were asked to evaluate the exercise intensity at the end of each section using the Borg RPE scale (rated from 6 to 20). The curve estimation method was used to evaluate the relationship between subjective and objective fatigue in both groups.
