This method could be used as “standing alone” method for training load (TL) monitoring purposes though some recommend to combine it with other physiological parameters as heart rate. 36 studies have examined the validity and reliability of this proposed method using the modified CR-10.Ĭonclusion: These studies confirmed the validity and good reliability and internal consistency of session-RPE method in several sports and physical activities with men and women of different age categories (children, adolescents, and adults) among various expertise levels. study that proposed the session RPE-method. Results: A total of 950 studies cited the Foster et al. Other studies were examined to explain the rationale of the session-RPE method and the origin of RPE. Studies using languages other than English were excluded in the analysis of the validity and reliability of the session-RPE method. Participants were athletes of any gender, age, or level of competition. Studies were considered for further analysis when they used the session-RPE method proposed by Foster et al. Method: Search engines such as SPORTDiscus, PubMed, and Google Scholar databases in the English language between 20 were consulted for the validity and usefulness of the session-RPE method. Purpose: The aim of this review is to (1) retrieve all data validating the Session-rating of perceived exertion (RPE)-method using various criteria, (2) highlight the rationale of this method and its ecological usefulness, and (3) describe factors that can alter RPE and users of this method should take into consideration. To detail the idea of this approach, a hypothetical model based on a provincial-level team in Ontario, Canada was used to determine an optimal training strategy, training environment and testing protocols. This study attempts to determine an optimal approach for the training of provincial-level Olympic Weightlifting athletes, in addition to suggested methods in which include new technologies such as accelerometry. In addition the facility used to implement the training program may also have certain specialized requirements when considering the differences in equipment such as the barbell type or flooring material. The sport also requires knowledge demographic data such as injury rates and performance standards. The approach in this study takes into consideration the performance characteristics of the individual athlete in areas such as fibre type usage, joint range-of-motion, and performance characteristics. The sport of Olympic Weightlifting requires an evidence-based approach when planning a training program.

Olympic Weightlifting is known as highly explosive sport when referring to the Snatch and CJ techniques. Females 48, 53, 58, 63, 69, 75, and 75+kg.) utilize either the Snatch or Clean and Jerk (CJ) technique to lift the heaviest load overhead.


Olympic Weightlifting is a sport where athletes of different weight classes (Males 56, 62, 69, 77, 85, 94, 105, 105+kg.
