Question: 1 / 400

Who developed the BORG scale?

Henry BORG

Gunnar Borg

The BORG scale, also known as the Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) scale, was developed by Gunnar Borg. This scale is a widely used method in exercise science to quantify perceived exertion during physical activity, helping individuals gauge their intensity of exercise based on personal feelings rather than solely relying on heart rate or other physiological measures. The scale ranges from 6 to 20, where lower numbers represent very light activity and higher numbers indicate very hard activity.

Gunnar Borg's intention in creating this scale was to provide a subjective measure that could be used in various populations, including those who may have difficulty interpreting physiological cues, making it valuable for personal trainers, athletes, and researchers in understanding exertion levels during exercise.
