Question

What RPE values correspond with ACSM's recommendation of moderate to vigorous intensity exercise in the Category Ratio scale

a) 1-3
b) 4-6
c) 7-9
d) 10-12

Answer 1

ACSM's recommendation of moderate to vigorous intensity exercise on the Category Ratio scale corresponds to RPE values of 7-9.

Step-by-step explanation:

The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends moderate to vigorous intensity exercise. The corresponding RPE values on the Category Ratio scale are 7-9. This means that during exercise at this intensity, you should feel like you are working somewhat hard to hard, but still able to maintain a conversation without too much difficulty.
