Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What does an intensity rating of 6 indicate according to the Borg scale?
A
No exertion at all
B
Very light
C
Somewhat hard
D
Very hard
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -These include a rating of 6 perceiving “no exertion at all” to 20 perceiving a “maximal exertion” of effort. Practitioners generally agree that perceived exertion ratings between 12 to 14 on the Borg Scale suggests that physical activity is being performed at a moderate level of intensity.

Detailed explanation-2: -You may wonder why the Borg RPE scale starts at 6 and goes to 20. This is because it is designed to give you a fairly good estimate of your actual heart rate during activity. To do this, multiply your RPE by 10 to get an estimated heart rate.

Detailed explanation-3: -The original Borg scale has a range from 6 to 20 (with 6 being no exertion at all, and 20 being maximum effort). This scale correlates with a person’s heart rate or how hard they feel they’re working. The modified RPE scale has a range from 0 to 10 (with 0 being no exertion and 10 being maximum effort).

Detailed explanation-4: -The Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) is a way of measuring physical activity intensity level. Perceived exertion is how hard you feel like your body is working.
