Rate of Perceived Exertion, RPE Scale

RATE OF PERCEIVED EXERTION

Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) 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

1 Very weak

2Weak

3Moderate

4Somewhat strong

5Strong

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.
