Perceived Exertion is a scale used to describe the difficulty or physical effort involved in certain activities. Given the practical difficulties in monitoring heart rate, perceived exertion provides a scale for people on the street to use to gauge the intensity of their exercise. For example, the suggested intensity for aerobic exercise allows you to maintain a conversation, but not sing a song. This is easy to use without equipment, and is a fair measure of respiratory activity.

In sports and particularly exercise testing, the Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) Scale measures perceived exertion. In medicine this is used to document the patient's exertion during a test, and sports coaches use the scale to assess the intensity of training and competition.
