RPE, fatigue, Fatigue
A rating of perceived exertion (RPE) and a fatigue visual analog scale (VAS) were recorded pre-exercise and following the completion of the 3rd, 6th, 9th, 12th, and 15th sprints. The RPE was assessed on a scale of 6–20, with 6 indicating the lowest level of exertion and 20 indicating the highest level of exertion. The VAS scale was completed using a 100 mm line anchored by “Lowest Possible Fatigue” and “Highest Possible Fatigue” to assess subjective ratings of fatigue.
