RPE
Velocity Loss vs RPE for Autoregulation: Which Method Works Best for Your Training?
RPE relies on feel; velocity loss relies on a number. Compare both methods for fatigue control, accuracy, and real-world programming trade-offs.
VBT vs RPE: Which Is More Accurate? A Practical Field Guide
We tested velocity-based training against RPE on precision, reliability, and cost. See the load, tempo, and progression cues each method gets wrong.
How to Use RPE Chart Effectively: Self-Regulation Key
The RPE 1-10 scale only works if you calibrate it first. Here is how to set it accurately, apply it in programming, and check it against velocity data.
Autoregulation Training Methods: From RPE to Velocity-Based Training
How RPE, RIR, and velocity-based autoregulation work, when to use each method, and how to combine them for smarter daily training load adjustments.
How to Monitor Training Load with the RPE Scale
RPE only works if athletes rate consistently. Calibrate perception ratings, autoregulate session load, and cross-validate RPE against velocity data here.
How to Calculate Training Intensity: %1RM, RPE, and Velocity Methods
Velocity-based load prescription beat fixed %1RM by 9.4% more strength over 10 weeks by self-correcting for daily readiness. See all three methods here.
How to Use RPE for Training: A Practitioner's Field Guide
RPE-based load management works when you combine the Borg CR10 scale, session-RPE, and velocity calibration, with zone tables and load formulas.
Mental Fatigue and Physical Performance: Research Summary
Cognitive fatigue quietly drains sprint times, force output, and endurance capacity. See the mechanisms, effect sizes, and how to monitor it objectively.
