El control de la intensidad del esfuerzo y su incidencia sobre la actividad física en edad escolar. (Controlling effort intensity and its effect on physical activity on school-aged children)

The aim of the present work is to give up the pupils a simple tool that let them to control the intensity of their physical activity using in this way the rating of perceived exertion. 32 subjects (n 1 =12 boys and n 2 =20 girls), 11.5 ± 0.5 years old were involved in a physical activity program on a six-station circuit. Heart rate and rating of perceived exertion with the OMNI scale were meassured. After seven sessions were observed high correlations between both parameters (r=0.54 - 0.76). Once the program finished the pupils could regulate their effort in a 53,13% with perceived heart rate and 56,25% with real heart rate, inside an established heart rate range, giving them a practice procedure to control the intensity of their physical activity while exercising
