  3. The RPE rating is subtracted by 10 from the heart rate

  4. The RPE rating is closely related and can estimate heart rate by being multiplied by a factor of 10

Therefore, by multiplying an individual's RPE score by a factor of 10, an estimate of their exercise heart rate can be calculated. This can be a useful tool for individuals who do not have access to heart rate monitors or for those who prefer to use a simpler method of tracking their intensity levels during physical activity. Option A is incorrect because the RPE rating is not divided by a
