The Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) is a tool used to measure exercise intensity based on an individual's personal feelings of effort. This scale typically ranges from 1 to 10 or from 6 to 20, with lower numbers indicating easier levels of exertion and higher numbers indicating more difficult levels. It allows people to assess how hard they believe they are working during physical activity, regardless of their actual performance metrics.
