ABSTRACT

The aims of this study were to perform the cross-cultural adaptation of the Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) 6–20 Scale to Brazilian Portuguese language and to start testing its validity and reliability. After performing the cross-cultural adaptation of the Scale, concurrent and discriminative validity, and reliability were determined on a treadmill in young (18–30 years) and older adult women (60–75 years). Considering young and older adult women, RPE presented high and moderate positive correlation with heart rate and high and low positive correlation with oxygen consumption, respectively. Older adult women presented RPE (11 ± 2) significantly higher than young ones (8 ± 1) exercising at the same absolute intensity. Intraclass coefficient correlation was excellent for RPE to young and older adult women. The Scale presented concurrent validity only to young adult women, whereas it presented discriminative validity between such groups of women. Moreover, the scale is reliable to young and older adult women.

摘要

这项研究的目的是对6-20的博格感知运动量表（RPE）量表进行跨文化适应，以适应巴西葡萄牙语，并开始测试其有效性和可靠性。在对量表进行跨文化调整后，在跑步机上确定了年轻人（18-30岁）和成年女性（60-75岁）的并发和区分效度以及可靠性。考虑到年轻和年长的成年女性，RPE与心率呈正相关，与氧气消耗呈正相关。在相同的绝对强度下，成年女性的RPE（11±2）显着高于年轻女性（8±1）。对于年青和成年女性，RPE的类内系数相关性极好。该量表仅对年轻成年女性呈现并发效度，而在这类女性之间则具有判别效度。而且，该量表对年轻和成年女性是可靠的。
