The Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) is a way of measuring physical activity intensity levels. Perceived exertion is how hard you feel like your body is working.
It is used in some research studies for that purpose, but may also be used in training programs to describe the intensity of training sessions. The scale of perceived exertion is how hard you feel your body is working, and therefore is a subjective measurement. The commonly used scale is based on the research of Gunnar Borg, and is therefore also called the Borg Scale. There are three versions of this scale on this site: 1  Borg 6-20 - the original scale as developed by Borg, with the ratings between 6-20 which can correspond to 1/10 of the exercise heart rate.
