Exercise Prescription Using a Group‐Normalized Rating of Perceived Exertion in Adolescents and Adults With Spina Bifida

People with spina bifida (SB) face personal and environmental barriers to exercise that contribute to physical inactivity, obesity, risk of cardiovascular disease, and poor aerobic fitness. The WHEEL rating of perceived exertion (RPE) Scale was validated in people with SB to monitor exercise intensity. However, the psycho‐physiological link between RPE and ventilatory breakpoint (Vpt), the group‐normalized perceptual response, has not been determined and would provide a starting point for aerobic exercise in this cohort.
