How to use the Perceived Exertion Scale There are a variety of methods for determining exercise intensity levels. Common methods include the‘talk test’, the target heart rate range and the Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE). The following article, from the CDC, provides an explanation of the Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE). Perceived exertion is how hard you feel your body is working. It is based on the physical sensations a person experiences during physical activity, including increased heart rate, increased respiration or breathing rate, increased sweating, and muscle fatigue. Practitioners generally agree that perceived exertion ratings between 12 to 14 on the Borg Scale suggests that physical activity is being performed at a moderate level of intensity. Through experience of monitoring how your body feels, it will become easier to know when to adjust your intensity. How to Use the Perceived Exertion Scale While doing physical activity, we want you to rate your perception of exertion. Paige Waehner.
