Explanation:
What Does Rated Perceived Exertion (RPE) Mean? The Rated Perceived Exertion (RPE) scale measures the perceived intensity level of a physical activity. It is used to estimate how hard a task is and what effort that task requires, from very, very light to very, very hard.
How do you measure RPE?
Find your pulse on the inside of your wrist, on the thumb side.
Use the tips of your first two fingers (not your thumb) and press lightly over the artery.
Count your pulse for 30 seconds and multiply by two to find your beats per minute.
