Borg RPE Scale

The Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) Scale is a tool used to measure how hard you feel you are working during physical activity. It ranges from 6 to 20, where 6 means no exertion at all, and 20 indicates maximum effort. By using this scale, you can communicate your effort level based on feelings, such as fatigue or breathlessness. It's often used in exercise settings to ensure that individuals train at an appropriate intensity, helping to prevent overexertion or undertraining while promoting overall fitness safely.
