RPE SCALE

The Borg Scale is a method to measure perceived exertion that personal trainers and strength coaches can use to determine a clients’ intensity level. Research has shown that accurately using a Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) scale correlates to training heart rate, percentage of VO2 max and breathing rate.

There are a number of RPE scales but the most common are the 15-point scale (6-20), and the 9-point scale (1-10).

15 Point Scale

  • 6 – 20% effort
  • 7 – 30% effort – Very, very light (Rest)
  • 8 – 40% effort
  • 9 – 50% effort – Very light – gentle walking
  • 10 – 55% effort
  • 11 – 60% effort – Fairly light
  • 12 – 65% effort
  • 13 – 70% effort – Somewhat hard – steady pace
  • 14 – 75% effort
  • 15 – 80% effort – Hard
  • 16 – 85% effort
  • 17 – 90% effort – Very hard
  • 18 – 95% effort
