Weekly Perceived Exertion Is More Sensitive to Detecting Variations in Training Load in Runners than TRIMP or Running Distance

Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, v29 n1 p59-65 2025
This study compared the weekly training load (TL) variation across different measures. Fifty-two runners reported their heart rate and distance ran for each training session during four weeks of training. Heart rate measures were used to calculate the weekly TRaining IMPulse (W-TRIMP), whereas the distance ran was used to calculate the weekly distance covered (W-DIST). At the end of each week, participants reported their weekly perceived TL (W-RPE). W-DIST was analyzed alone and combined with W-RPE and W-TRIMP. The weekly overall TL variation was compared using paired-t tests. Compared to W-DIST, the W-RPE (ES: -0.29), W-DIST combined with W-RPE (ES: -0.40) and W-DIST combined with W-TRIMP (ES: -0.31) presented a significant difference in week-to-week overall TL variation. Our results suggest that running coach and athletes include, at minimum, an RPE-based TL measure combined with W-DIST in their training routines.
