Session RPE surveys allow users to track RPE/intensity, distance, duration and activity/sport of their training sessions.

Getting Started

To set up Activity Types for the Session RPE Questionnaire, go to the Session RPE settings page by visiting Admin > Settings > Session RPE in the sidebar.

Configuring Activity Types

To create a new Activity Type, click the "New" button at the top-right corner of the page. If you have an existing Activity Type you would like to update, click the "Update" button instead.

A modal will appear allowing you to enter a name for the Activity Type. This is what will display to athletes in the Arc Mobile app when submitting their RPE.

RPE Multipliers

If you have RPE Training Load enabled, you will see an additional RPE Multiplier field. This field is use to weight harder sessions vs easier sessions. For example, if an athlete reports an RPE of 10 for an Activity Type that has a multliplier of 1.1, their RPE Load would be calculated as 10 ร— 1.1 = 11. A guide is displayed in the pop-up window which provides a good place to start when configuring RPE Multipliers:

Hiding/Removing Activity Types

Currently, Arc does not allow permanently deleting an Activity Type, as this would also permanently delete any RPE data an athlete has submitted related to that activity. Instead, Arc provides a way to "hide" the Activity Type from the Arc Mobile app and charts within Arc.

To hide an Activity Type, click the toggle icon next to the update button, so that it is in the "off" position (appearing grey instead of bright green):

To restore RPE data for a hidden Activity Type, toggle it back to the "On" position.
