Abstract: Objective The aim of this study was to provide concurrent validity evidences to perceived exertion threshold (PET) by comparing and establishing relationships with aerobic fitness parameters derived from square-wave and incremental tests. Methods Eleven male college students performed one incremental test to determine first and second ventilatory thresholds (VT1 and VT2, respectively), maximal oxygen uptake (), and maximal aerobic power (MAP); four predictive trials for the critical power (CP) and PET estimations. Results Oxygen consumption () at VT1 and VT2 were 22.9 ± 4.2 and 35.8 ± 4.7 ml/kg per minute, respectively. The MAP and were 267 ± 34 W and 40.3 ± 6.3 ml/kg per minute, respectively. The PET (146 ± 31 W) and CP (146 ± 33 W) did not differ from each other, and both estimates were between VT1 (121 ± 28 W) and VT2 (228 ± 36 W). The correlations between PET and CP, expressed in relative terms to body mass, were significant (P < 0.01, r = 0.84). The correlations between PET and relative at VT1 (r = 0.76), VT2 (r = 0.72) and (r = 0.73) were significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion PET did not significantly differ from CP, and presented significant correlations with VT1, VT2 and derived from incremental test. Thus, it can be considered as a valid measure of aerobic capacity.
