Do Obese Children Perceive Submaximal and Maximal Exertion Differently? Abstract: We examined how obese children perceive a maximal cardiorespiratory fitness test compared to a submaximal cardiorespiratory fitness test. Twenty one obese children (Body Mass Index ≥ 95th percentile; ages 10-17 yrs.) completed maximal and submaximal cardiorespiratory fitness tests on two separate occasions. Oxygen consumption (VO2) and overall perceived exertion (Borg 15-Category Scale) were measured in both fitness tests. At comparable workloads, perceived exertion was rated significantly higher (p
