Abstract
Aim. This study aimed to characterize Supermoto performance by correlating the fastest lap (best performance) with heart rate (HR), anthropometric characteristics, racing experience and the ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) of riders. Methods. Twenty Supermoto riders - data are shown as mean value±standard deviation (SD), age: 29±9 years, BMI: 23.0±2.4, riding experience: 4±3 years - performed 12 laps on a circuit 1167 m long, without off-road part, but data were available for 16 riders. The HR was monitored throughout all laps, RPE was asked at the end of the race. The fastest rider wore a portable metabolic unit to assess the aerobic load of Supermoto riding. Results. The HRmean was related to the best performance (r=0.747, P
