This visual was created for grade 6 fitness unit (but is applicable to many levels) in which students explored concepts related to heart rate and its relationship to aerobic fitness. Using the modified chart (the Borg RPE Scale actually goes from levels 6-20), students would create activity plans to improve their cardiorespiratory endurance. Students may also check their heart rate throughout fitness activities and refer to the chart to make sure they are working within the proper heart rate zone.

This website contains many resources to download and use in Health/PE education. Look for the link to download Borg RPE resource.

This resource from Open Online Physical Education Network is a learning activity demonstrating fitness activities with proper form and attention to safety titled "Tools for Learning FITTness Knowledge".  Students will work together to rotate through and complete the FITTness routine. Task cards help students learn and apply the FITT principle while doing the activity.

Note: Open Online Physical Education Network is a free resource, but teachers will need to create a free account to access this resource.
