RATE OF PERCEIVED EXERTION

Rate of Perceived Exertion (R.P.E.) 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 for most people is between 3 (moderate)

and 5 (strong). The RPE should be independent of your pace; it is

dependent on the feelings caused by the exertion.

TALK TEST

The “Talk Test” is a quick and simple check of exercise intensity. If you have

trouble completing a sentence, you are working to hard. You should be

able to speak freely without gasping for air.
