Which method is NOT used to monitor training intensity?

Monitoring training intensity is crucial for ensuring that individuals engage in the appropriate level of exertion to meet their fitness goals. The talk test, Borg scale, and rate of perceived exertion (RPE) are all well-established methods for assessing how intensely a person is working during exercise.

The talk test evaluates intensity based on an individual's ability to maintain a conversation while exercising. If a person can talk comfortably, they are typically at a low intensity; if they can only speak a few words before needing to gasp for breath, they are at a higher intensity level.

The Borg scale is a numerical scale that helps individuals rate their perceived exertion during an activity. It ranges from very light to very hard and allows users to correlate their feelings of effort to a specific intensity level.

The rate of perceived exertion (RPE) is another subjective method where individuals assess their own exertion during physical activity, usually on a scale from 6 to 20 or 0 to 10. This self-assessment helps guide individuals to maintain an appropriate intensity for their training.

In contrast, while goal setting is essential for structuring one’s fitness regimen and staying motivated, it does not provide a direct measure of training intensity. Instead, it focuses on the outcomes or
