Borg Category-Ratio Scale

The Borg Category-Ratio Scale is a tool used to measure how hard you feel your body is working during activity, like exercise or physical effort. It combines two aspects: how intense the effort feels (category scale) and a numerical rating that extends beyond simple interest, going from 0 to 10. Higher numbers mean greater effort, with 0 being no effort at all, and 10 representing maximum effort. It's often used by health professionals and athletes to gauge exertion accurately, even if the person is tired or not able to give precise numbers.
