Table 3 The adaptive strategies for adjusting exercise intensity levels
Intensity Adjustment | Single adaptive strategy (MCR) | Dual adaptive strategy (MCR & RPE) |
|---|---|---|
Increase (Obj.) | MCR > 7/9 | MCR > 7/9 |
Decrease (Obj.) | MCR < 3/9 | MCR < 3/9 |
Remain (Obj.) | 3/9 ≦ MCR ≦ 7/9 | – |
Increase (Subj.) | – | 3/9 ≦ MCR ≦ 7/9 & rRPE < 11 |
Decrease (Subj.) | – | 3/9 ≦ MCR ≦ 7/9 & rRPE > 14 |
Remain (Subj.) | – | 3/9 ≦ MCR ≦ 7/9 & 11 ≦rRPE≦ 14 |
