Abstract

Background: Individual differences in subjective tolerance to fatigue and physical exhaustion can be estimated by the proportion of exercise sustained after the detection of first signs of perceived exertion (Borg, 1973, 1982). This proportion has been found to be relatively stable (Ilyin, 1980; Aidman 1995; Miotti, 1996) and was termed “mental effort ratio” (MER), with a psychometric procedure for its measurement developed using a modified hypoxemic (breath-holding) test. Current paper continues to examine the relationship between MER and endurance performance, following the studies with endurance athletes (Aidman, 2005) and military personnel (Aidman & Crameri, 2006).
