What is RPE?

RPE is an abbreviation for Rate of Perceived Exertion. RPE is a scale used to identify the intensity of a session based on how hard the athlete feels (or perceives) their effort to be. This scale is typically measured from zero to ten.

Why should you record it?

While the measure of RPE is subjective (meaning it's how the athlete feels), over time it can give a picture of how players on the team are handling practices and training. Once players have been reporting RPE for each session for multiple days, Sunbears automatically generates charts to display this information. Coaches/trainers can use these charts to make judgments about training intensity, and put the team in the proper mindset for injury prevention.

For more details about strength and conditioning data and its benefits, please refer to our blog posts (Japanese) in collaboration with S&C coach Usui.

Condition data can be collected everyday, with the Condition and Health surveys becoming available to all players each morning.

To collect RPE data, each Schedule session should be "Marked as Finished" in the Execute page (this can be done both on desktop and mobile by a staff member). Once the session is executed, the RPE survey will be visible to players who were part of that session.

Certain staff users (coach, trainer) can view this data on the Player & Position Statistics pages on our website.

Coach staff can edit player's data submission in Statistics > Player Statistics (desktop site only). To do so, click the mistaken data, enter the correct value, and save!

The consistency with which players should respond to their daily reports is ultimately up to the team staff. Survey submissions are not technically required for Sunbears to operate properly for your team. Of course, the best data is complete data, and so coaches and trainers likely want to know of their player's condition daily. Please communicate with your team about whether or not you wish for them to submit everyday.

If you are a staff member with access to view player statistics, you can view the results of daily reports on the Player Statistics page (under Statistics) on the desktop version of Sunbears.

Daily report types visible include Condition, Health, Attendance, and sRPE.
