The aim of this review is to (1) retrieve all data validating the Session-rating of perceived exertion (RPE)-method using various criteria, (2) highlight the rationale of this method and its ecological usefulness, and (3) describe factors that can alter RPE and users of this method should take into consideration. Search engines such as SPORTDiscus, PubMed, and Google Scholar databases in the English language between 2001 and 2016 were consulted for the validity and usefulness of the session-RPE method. Studies were considered for further analysis when they used the session-RPE method proposed by Foster et al. in 2001. Participants were athletes of any gender, age, or level of competition. Studies using languages other than English were excluded in the analysis of the validity and reliability of the session-RPE method. Other studies were examined to explain the rationale of the session-RPE method and the origin of RPE. A total of 950 studies cited the Foster et al. study that proposed the session RPE-method. 36 studies have examined the validity and reliability of this proposed method using the modified CR-10. These studies confirmed the validity and good reliability and internal consistency of session-RPE method in several sports and physical activities with men and women of different age categories (children, adolescents, and adults) among various expertise levels. This method could be used as "standing alone" method for training load (TL) monitoring purposes though some recommend to combine it with other physiological parameters as heart rate.

Background: Little information is available regarding the TL and training practices of competitive athletes who are solid-organ recipients. This study characterized TL and practices of competitive organ-recipients at the British and World Transplant Games, 2017.
Methods: Questionnaire data was gathered from 220 participants regarding sporting events and type, frequency, duration and intensity of training sessions undertaken.

Article Synopsis
- Vigorous physical activity (VPA) improves cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in sedentary college students, and this study looks at how different training volumes affect physiological, psychological, and internal training load (ITL) responses during single VPA sessions.
- Thirty sedentary college students participated by engaging in three types of training: high-intensity interval training (HIIT), sprint interval training (SIT), and threshold training (THR), while various cardiorespiratory parameters were collected to assess the effects.
- Results indicated that while HIIT yielded the highest levels of oxygen consumption and perceived exertion, THR had the highest tidal volume. However, overall heart rate was similar across all training types, and ITL did
Analyzing activity and injury risk in elite curling athletes: seven workload monitoring metrics from session-RPE.

Objective: The study aimed to compare the differences in the performance of seven session-rating of perceived exertion (RPE)-derived metrics (coupled and uncoupled acute: chronic workload ratio (ACWR), weekly ratio of workload change, monotony, standard deviation of weekly workload change, exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA), and robust exponential decreasing index (REDI)) in classifying the performance of an injury prediction model after taking into account the time series (no latency, 5-day latency, and 10-day latency).
Design: The study documented the RPE of eight curlers in their daily training routine for 211 days prior to the Olympic Games.
Methods: Seven Session-RPE (sRPE)-derived metrics were used to build models at three time series nodes using logistic regression and multilayer perceptron.

The aim of this study was to test a machine learning (ML) model to predict high-intensity actions and body impacts during youth football training. Sixty under-15, -17, and -19 sub-elite Portuguese football players were monitored over a 6-week period. External training load data were collected from the target variables of accelerations (ACCs), decelerations (DECs), and dynamic stress load (DSL) using an 18 Hz global positioning system (GPS).
