This study aimed to investigate the correlation between the face scale and heart rate (HR), exercise load and oxygen uptake (V̇O) during cardiopulmonary exercise testing. This was a prospective, observational study of face scale rating of perceived exertion (RPE) and HR, exercise load and V̇O during cardiopulmonary exercise testing. A total of 30 healthy college men and 21 healthy college women were included. Subjects performed a cardiopulmonary exercise test with ramps and an increment increase in workload of 20 W/min. We recorded the responses of subjects using a face scale for RPE, HR, exercise load and V̇O every minute during the cardiopulmonary exercise test.
In men, there was a significant positive correlation between the face scale RPE and HR (ρ=0.856, p<0.01), exercise load (ρ=0.888, p<0.01) and V̇O (ρ=0.878, p<0.01) during the cardiopulmonary exercise test. Similarly, in women, there was a significant positive correlation between the face scale RPE and HR (ρ=0.885, p<0.01), exercise load (ρ=0.908, p<0.01) and V̇O (ρ=0.895, p<0.01) during the cardiopulmonary exercise tests.
The face scale proposed in this study was related to physiological parameters, which suggests that it may be used to determine the intensity of exercise in healthy adults.
本研究旨在调查心肺运动试验期间面部量表与心率（HR）、运动负荷和摄氧量（V̇O）之间的相关性。这是一项关于心肺运动试验期间主观用力程度（RPE）的面部量表评分与HR、运动负荷和V̇O的前瞻性观察性研究。共纳入30名健康男性大学生和21名健康女性大学生。受试者进行了斜坡式心肺运动试验，工作量以每分钟20W的速度递增。在心肺运动试验期间，我们每分钟使用面部量表记录受试者关于RPE、HR、运动负荷和V̇O的反应。
在男性中，心肺运动试验期间面部量表RPE与HR（ρ=0.856，p<0.01）、运动负荷（ρ=0.888，p<0.01）和V̇O（ρ=0.878，p<0.01）之间存在显著正相关。同样，在女性中，心肺运动试验期间面部量表RPE与HR（ρ=0.885，p<0.01）、运动负荷（ρ=0.908，p<0.01）和V̇O（ρ=0.895，p<0.01）之间存在显著正相关。
本研究中提出的面部量表与生理参数相关，这表明它可能用于确定健康成年人的运动强度。
