Physical Effort & Ergonomics

Borg CR-10 Scale (Perceived Exertion)

GitHub Repository(opens in a new tab)

Measure physical effort and fatigue dynamics across task phases (Before, During, After) using the Borg Category-Ratio 10 scale.

Instrument version, scoring, and data handling

Version: Borg Category-Ratio 10 scale recorded at three task timepoints.

Scoring: Reports the selected CR10 values and peak exertion; values should be interpreted using Borg scale guidance.

Data handling: CSV mode creates a file only on this device; the portfolio server does not receive the response. Google Sheets mode sends the participant ID, condition, item responses, calculated scores, tool name, sheet/tab name, and timestamp to the Google Apps Script /exec URL entered by the researcher. Nothing is sent until the final save action. Completion is shown only when that script returns JSON with success: true (or ok: true) after appending the row.
