Borg Scale

The Borg Scale, also known as the Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE), is a tool used to measure the intensity of physical activity based on how hard a person feels they are working. It typically ranges from 6 to 20, where 6 indicates no exertion at all and 20 represents maximal effort. This scale helps individuals assess their exercise intensity, guiding them to maintain or adjust their workouts accordingly. By using the Borg Scale, exercisers can manage their efforts effectively to improve fitness while reducing the risk of overexertion or injury.
