Abstract

When using Borgs 6-20 scale during pregnancy, ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) did not significantly correlate with exercise heart rates (HR). The HR predicted from RPE significantly underestimated the exercise HR in the second trimester during walking, aerobics classes and circuit training; and in the third trimester during cycling and aerobics classes. Maximal individual HR under-estimations were large for each physical activity during pregnancy, with values up to 54 beats/min. Consequently, exercise intensity should not be monitored solely with RPE during pregnancy. Verf.-Referat
