Abstract.
The
rating of perceived exertion (Borg’s scale) –
subjective
quantification of exertion – is widely used in sports
medicine to
monitor or prescribe levels of exercise intensity. Numerous studies
have shown that RPE is well correlated with physiological measures of
exercise intensity, such as: heart rate, blood lactate levels, % VO2
max, VO2, respiratory rate. Due to its high accessibility
(simplicity, low cost), the RPE also finds application in pathology
(cardiovascular, respiratory disorders) and exercise during
pregnancy.
Key
words: Borg’s
Scale, rate of perceived exertion, RPE.
