The rate of perceived exertion helps people determine a comfortable, beneficial level of exercise intensity.Being slightly short of breath, able to talk with difficulty, being pleasantly fatigued, and having mild musculoskeletal pain reflect a rate of perceived exertion that corresponds well with 50% to 85% of maximum heart rate, an appropriate target range for most individuals.
