The aim of the study was to obtain the content validity of the Eston-Parfitt Scale (E-P) to measure the perceived exertion of youth futsal players. For this purpose, content validity was obtained through consultation with experts and children. Participants were 34 experts and 44 futsal players. The experts were asked to evaluate the degree of understanding and qualitative and quantitative adequacy of the header, graphs, labels, numberical range and curve. Once the evaluations provided by the experts were obtained, the scale was modified according to the comments received. When the new version of the scale was obtained, the content validity was assessed by the players. The experts rated the header, graphs, labels, numerical range, and curve, positively in terms of comprehension and appropriateness. However, all the experts’ suggestions were addressed. Players demonstrated that the instrument was comprehensible, because at least the 90% of them answered the three questions correctly. Consequently, a more tailored assessment of 9-12-year-olds futsal players’ perceived exertion can be made through the present scale, because it was adapted to them.
