Perceived Exertion is a scale used to describe the difficulty or physical effort involved in certain activities. Given the practical difficulties in monitoring heart rate, perceived exertion provides a scale for people on the street to use to gauge the intensity of their exercise. For example, the suggested intensity for aerobic exercise allows you to maintain a conversation, but not sing a song. This is easy to use without equipment, and is a fair measure of respiratory activity.

Borg's Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) scale recommends exercising within a range of 12 to 16, which corresponds to "somewhat hard" to "hard" exertion levels. This range indicates that the activity should feel challenging but still manageable, allowing individuals to maintain their exercise intensity effectively. It's designed to help individuals gauge their effort during physical activity without relying solely on heart rate or other measures.
In sports and particularly exercise testing, the Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) Scale measures perceived exertion. In medicine this is used to document the patient's exertion during a test, and sports coaches use the scale to assess the intensity of training and competition.
