The ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) takes into account all that you are perceiving in terms of fatigue, including psychological, musculoskeletal, and environmental factors. This level of perceived physical effort is assigned a rating from the scale below: RPE 6 On this scale, an RPE of 12 to 13 corresponds to approximately 60 to 79 percent of maximal heart rate. An RPE of 16 would correspond to about 90 percent of maximal heart rate. Thus, as a rule, most folks would exercise between 12 and 16 on this scale. I am not quite certain but I believe METS is the unit that measures percieved exertion. I haven't taken exercise phys in a few years. I know for a fact that they are a baseball team from the Big Apple, though IP: Logged |
