We tested the hypothesis that incremental cycling to exhaustion that is paced using clamps of the rating of perceived exertion (RPE) elicits higher

. The incremental protocols were of similar duration and included: a ramp test at 30xa0Wxa0min−1 with constant cadence (RAMP1); a ramp test at 30xa0Wxa0min−1 with cadence free to fluctuate according to subject preference (RAMP2); and a self-paced incremental test in which the power output was selected by the subject according to prescribed increments in RPE (SPT). The subjects also completed a
