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

0Nothing at all

.5 Very, very weak

1Very weak

2Weak

3Moderate

4Somewhat strong

5Strong

6

7Very strong

10Very, 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.

NOTES FOR YOUR HEART RATE TRAINING PROGRAMS

If there is no Heart Rate detected, the Treadmill will not speed up or down.

If the Heart Rate detected is higher than the Target Zone by 10 BPM the console will “beep” 4 times to warn the user.

If the Heart Rate detected is higher than the Target Zone by 15 BPM, the console will “beep” 4 times, stop, and then continue beeping 4 times again and the same process will repeat 5 times.

• If the user’s Heart Rate is 20 beats over their Target Zone, the Treadmill

will “beep” 5 times then Shut Down.
