The training, coaching and competitions depend on many factors but managing the load dynamics for justified adaptation requires a scientifically validated controlling mechanism to optimize the training and coaching load. The rate of perceived exertion is a tool to measure the level of exertion of an athlete during physical activity. The study was conducted to test the validity of ratings of perceived physical exertion with special reference to the physical activity of female judo players for which 30 female players were randomly selected and were asked to cover maximum distance in 12 minutes. Heart rate and RPE were recorded at an interval of each 200 meters of distance during running/walking testing protocol with performance in meters. The Mean, Maximum scores, Minimum scores, Standard deviation and Product moment Correlation were calculated and it was concluded that there is a significant correlation found between the rate of perceived exertion and other components such as Heart rate, velocity, and split time during the test.
