Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the perception of effort, enjoyment, and heart rate during three different durations and speeds of walking protocols in middle-aged women. Methods: Ten women (mean ±SD = 55±4 years) completed three randomized counterbalanced walking protocols: Continuous Walking (CW), Intermittent Walking (IW), and Intermittent Interval Walking (IIW). Rating of perceived exertion (RPE), enjoyment, and heart rate (HR) were assessed during exercise at six even increments; RPE and enjoyment were measured during rest periods. Results: Average exercising RPE was significantly higher (p
