MEASURING PRACTICE EFFORT 2.1

This fifth issue of Volume 4 of Coaching Science Abstracts reviews articles concerned with ratings of perceived exertion and heart rates. An emphasis is placed on how these two variables are used to prescribe and measure training programs. These two topics were first included in Volume 1(5) titled Measuring practice effort.
