The ‘Borg Scale’ is an important tool because:
  1. It helps participants compare their fitness to each other.
  2. It helps participants monitor body fat and weight loss.
  3. It replaces complicated heart rate calculations.
  4. It helps participants measure their level of effort and ensure they do not over-exert themselves.
Explanation
Answer: D- The ‘Borg Scale’ is an important tool because it helps participants measure their level of effort and ensure that they do not over-exert themselves. While participants may use resistance levels, cadence, and heart arte zones to establish their target level of effort, every participant is different and individual responses to sections of the workout may vary. The Borg scale can help participants know when they need to adjust their level of effort to avoid injury or illness from overexertion. Furthermore, it can alert participants to times when they need to adjust resistance or cadence to safely complete a section.
