Exercise intensity.
- Heart rate.
  - Measuring this is one of the ways to measure exercise intensity.
  - A target heart rate is what you need to achieve to reach specific training adaptations.
  - HRMax- 220-age.
  - You can measure heart rate using a heart rate monitor or by counting the pulse.
- The Borg (RPE) scale.
  - Rating of perceived exertion.
  - This is how hard the performer thinks they are working.
  - 6-20. 6 being no exertion and 20 being maximum exertion. 12 and 14 suggest a moderate level.
  - To predict heart rate: RPE x 10. Measured in bpm.
- Training zones
  - Warm up/cool down- 50%or less Fat burning zone- 50%-60% Aerobic training zone- 60%-85% Anaerobic threshold- 85%-100%
  - The preferred percentage of your maximum heart rate.
    - Warm up/cool down- 50%or less Fat burning zone- 50%-60% Aerobic training zone- 60%-85% Anaerobic threshold- 85%-100%
  - Aerobic training zone- 220-age=HRMax. 60% and 80% of the HRMax.
