How Borg’s Rpe-Scale Has Been Applied to Japanese
Mitsumasa Miyashita, Koichi Onodera, Izumi Tabata · Palgrave Macmillan UK eBooks · 1986
In 1976, we tried to translate English expression of Borg’s RPE scale (Borg, 1970, 1973) into Japanese. To do so, we needed some trials, because there is a quite large diffference in the origin of language between Europe and East Asian countries. For instance, we have several similar words meaning “light”, “hard”, and “very ”, respectively. Therefore, we had to select the most appropriate word. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
