Perceived Exertion (Borg Rating of Perceived
Exertion Scale)
The Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) is a way of measuring
physical activity intensity level
...
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
...
Self-monitoring how hard your body is working
can help you adjust the intensity of the activity by speeding up or
slowing down your movements
...
For example,
a walker who wants to engage in moderate-intensity activity would
aim for a Borg Scale level of "somewhat hard" (12-14)
...
On the other
hand, if he felt his exertion was "extremely hard" (19 on the Borg
Scale) he would need to slow down his movements to achieve the
moderate-intensity range
...
For example, if a
person's rating of perceived exertion (RPE) is 12, then 12 x 10 =
120; so the heart rate should be approximately 120 beats per
minute
...
The Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion is
also the preferred method to assess intensity among those
individuals who take medications that affect heart rate or pulse
...
This
feeling should reflect how heavy and strenuous the exercise feels to you, combining
all sensations and feelings of physical stress, effort, and fatigue
...
Use this information to speed up or slow down your
movements to reach your desired range
...
Your own feeling of effort and exertion is
important, not how it compares to other people's
...
6 No exertion at all
7 Extremely light (7
...
For a healthy person, it is like walking slowly
at his or her own pace for some minutes
13 on the scale is "somewhat hard" exercise, but it still feels OK to continue
...
A healthy person can still go on, but he or she
really has to push him- or herself
...
19 on the scale is an extremely strenuous exercise level
