Summary:To determine the relationship between rating of perceived exertion (RPE) and muscle activation in ET, dual action (arms+legs) recumbent bike (DB), a treadmill (TM), and single-action (legs only) recumbent bike (SB). Ten males and four females (Age:21+ or -2 yr; Height: 77.9+ or -10.0 cm; Weight:77.4+ or -13.7 kg) volunteered as subjects. No significant differences were found in C-RPE (p=0.256; C-RPE sub(ET): 11+ or - 2; C-RPE sub(DB): 12+ or -2; C-RPE sub(SB): 12 + or -3; C-RPE sub(TM):11+ or -3) across machines. P-RPE was significantly less (p
