“If you can just talk, you are just about at the right exercise intensity.” This sage piece of exercise advice is often referenced as:
  1. The Rating of Perceived Exertion Test
  2. The Talk Test
  3. The Borg Test
  4. The Intensity Test
Explanation
Answer: B - The Talk Test is a simple way for class members to assess their level of exertion without the need for lab equipment or a graphing calculator. When an exerciser can “just barely respond in conversation,” the intensity is considered to be ideal for aerobic improvement. The latest ACE research supports the appropriateness of the Talk Test and highlights its ability to closely mirror actual values including heart rate and VO2 levels.
