Validation of the children's OMNI RPE Scale for stepping exercise
Article Abstract:
The stepping pictorial format of the children's OMNI Perceived Exertion Scale (0-10) was validated for female (N=20) and male (N=20) children, 8-12 yr old with a peak (step) oxygen consumption. The result showed that the OMNI-step scale is not influenced by pictorials gender and is effective in assessing both undifferentiated and differentiated ratings of perceived exertion in young children.
