The Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) scale ranges from 6-20 and helps group members determine how hard they are exercising. What is the ideal range for a participant’s RPE during an exercise session?
  1. 6-10
  2. 10-12
  3. 11-15
  4. 16-18
Explanation
Answer: C - Exercisers’ RPE should fall between 11 (“fairly light”) and 15 (“hard”) during an exercise session. The Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) is a method for individuals to self-assess their intensity. An RPE of 7 indicates a “very, very light” rate of exertion and an RPE of 17 is “very hard.” If they fall into a range that is too difficult, they mostly likely will not be able to continue their workout session.
