Children, adolescents, and adults are encouraged to engage in regular physical activities to improve aerobic fitness. To maintain this level of physical activity, it is important that they exercise and play at safe intensities. One method to assess exercise intensity is by using rate of perceived exertion (RPE). The purpose of the review is to identify new perceived exertion scales which were developed for its respective profile and exercise setting. The protocol for the scoping review was drafted and revised by the research team using the PRISMA extension for scoping reviews. Through the review, 13 articles explored the application of RPE in healthy male and female adults, with majority who exercised regularly. Using the systematic approach, the scoping review identified studies that have modified conventional perceived exertion scales for use in different exercise modes for healthy adults. The studies have revealed that use of various elements on a perceived exertion scale are suitable for its intended population and exercise.
