What is the borg scale?

The Borg Scale, also known as the Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE), is a subjective scale used to measure an individual's perception of effort during physical activity. It typically ranges from 6 to 20, with lower numbers indicating minimal exertion and higher numbers representing maximal effort. The scale helps individuals gauge their exercise intensity and can assist trainers and healthcare professionals in monitoring and adjusting workout programs. It is particularly useful in settings where objective measures may not be available.
