A Comparison of Heart Rate Training Load and Perceptual Effort Between Masters and Young Cyclists.

CONCLUSIONS: HR and RPE values were comparable between masters and young cyclists when relative HR responses and HR training load models are used. This finding suggests HR and RPE methods used to monitor or prescribe training load can be used interchangeably between masters and young athletes irrespective of chronological age.
