GENERAL

RATE OF PERCEIVED EXERTION

Rate of Perceived Exertion is one of the easiest ways to monitor exercise

intensity. By becoming familiar with the RPE scale, you can continually

assess your level of intensity and insure a level of exertion that is

comfortable. An increase in exercise intensity is directly related to

elevation in exercise heart rate. Consequently, RPE can be used alone or

together with heart rate when monitoring exercise intensity.

RPE SCALE

0 Nothing at all

.5 Very, very weak

1 Very weak

2 Weak

3 Moderate

4 Somewhat strong

5 Strong

7 very strong

10 Very, very, strong

Maximal

The recommended RPE range during exercise for most people is between

3 (moderate) and 5 (strong). The RPE should be independent of your pace.
