ABSTRACT:
Differences in rating behavior have been reported: (1) between females and males; and (2) between exercise performed in the laboratory as compared to exercise performed in the field. Prior athletic experience has been suggested as one important factor which influences the individuals rating behavior. In the present study, 24 females and 24 males with similar athletic experience participated. The performance of the groups, in relation to heart rates and ratings of perceived exertion, during a cycle ergometer test performed in the laboratory was compared with an outdoor run test. Results revealed only small differences between the groups in the laboratory situation whereas significantly larger differences were observed in the field. Specifically, the female group gave lower ratings of perceived exertion than their male counterparts at comparable heart rates during the run test, whereas only minor differences could be detected during the laboratory test. The results question the view that males are generally more affected by the external environment than females, and that prior athletic experience per se is responsible for the differences observed.
