Training Load

Training Load tracks how much effort you’re putting into your workouts. This metric helps you balance intensity and volume, ensuring you're training at an optimal level for progress over time without overtraining.

How it is Measured
Derived from heart rate data during workout sessions, Training Load reflects your cardiovascular effort and physical output.

How to Optimize it
Aim for consistent effort levels appropriate to your fitness goals. Balancing high and low Training Load days ensures recovery and prevents overtraining. Consistency leads to improved endurance and performance gains.

Strain

The Strain Score measures the total cumulative exertion your body experiences throughout the day.It combines the impact of both Workout Strain and Passive Strain from daily activity, offering insights into your overall effort to help you balance exertion and recovery effectively.

How It Is Measured
Strain is derived from heart rate data during both everyday activities and workouts, and is measured on an exponential scale from 0 to 100+, with higher scores representing increasingly challenging efforts:
- Passive Strain: Accumulated from everyday movements like walking, cleaning, or light chores.
- Workout Strain: Accumulated during recorded workout sessions such as running, cycling, or gym classes.

How to Optimize It
Balancing Strain with adequate rest ensures sustainable progress and prevents burnout.

Stress

Your Stress Score measures your body’s response to daily challenges using heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV) data. It provides insights into moments of tension or relaxation.

How It Is Measured
FITIV’s Stress Score is calculated on a scale from 0 to 100 and reflects:
- Low Stress Levels: Indicate periods of relaxation or recovery, showing your body is in a balanced state.
- High Stress Levels: Reflect moments of tension or exertion. If your Battery Score is low, consider focusing on stress management techniques or lighter activities.
- Passive Stress: Elevated heart rate outside of a recorded workout session, indicating your body’s reaction to non-workout challenges.

How to Optimize It
Incorporate stress management techniques such as meditation or active recovery to maintain balance. Reducing stress improves recovery and performance.

Battery

FITIV’s Battery Score is personalized and adapts based on your Sleep, Recovery, Strain, and Physical Stress patterns. This helps you make informed decisions to manage energy, reduce fatigue, and maintain a balance between physical stress and recovery.

How It Is Measured
FITIV’s Battery Score adapts based on your Sleep, Recovery, Strain, and Physical Stress patterns:
- Sleep: The primary way to recharge your Battery, replenishing energy reserves overnight.
- Daily Activities: Physical activity, strain, and stress drain your Battery, gradually reducing energy throughout the day.

How to Optimize It
- Low Battery: Focus on low-intensity or active recovery activities to conserve energy and support recovery.

Sleep

Sleep is the foundation of health and fitness. It supports recovery, boosts immunity, and enhances performance. Your Sleep Score measures how well you meet your personalized sleep needs each night. It is calculated as soon as you wake up and is measured on a scale from 0 to 100.

How It Is Measured
FITIV calculates your Sleep Score using your sleep history and patterns, helping you understand how much sleep you need to perform at your best. By tracking key sleep stages and setting personalized sleep goals, this score guides you toward better rest and recovery.

Sleep Efficiency: The percentage of time spent asleep compared to the total time in bed.
Heart Rate Dip: The difference between your daytime and nighttime heart rates, indicating recovery during sleep.
Sleep Stages: The balance of light, deep, core, and REM sleep, essential for physical and mental restoration.
Time Asleep: The total duration of your sleep session, excluding awake periods.

How to Optimize It
Aim for consistent scores above 70 to support recovery and optimize performance. Adjust sleep habits if your score is consistently low.

Recovery

Your Recovery Score reflects how well your body has recovered overnight from the previous day’s activities, stressors, or illness. It is calculated as soon as you wake up and is measured on a scale from 0 to 100, helping you know when to push or rest.

How It Is Measured
Your Recovery Score reflects changes in key overnight vitals:
- RHR, HRV, RESP: Lower Resting Heart Rate (RHR), higher Heart Rate Variability (HRV), and lower Respiratory Rate all indicate better recovery.
- SpO2 & Wrist Temperature: Stable or typical values support recovery.

How to Optimize It
Values in the normal range indicate there’s no immediate cause for concern. Use low scores as a sign to focus on rest or lighter activities, while high scores encourage more intense efforts.

Training Readiness

Training Readiness helps you train smarter by identifying the best times to push hard or prioritize recovery.

The Score is personalized and adapts based on all your key daily scores, including Recovery, Sleep, Strain, Stress, Battery, and Training Load Ratio. This holistic approach guides your decisions and helps you optimize each workout for better results.

How It Is Measured
- Daily Strain & Workouts: Your recent activity levels and effort.
- Overnight Recovery: Insights from your sleep, vitals, and how well your body has recovered overnight.
- Training Load Ratio: A balance of your recent workload compared to your long-term fitness trends.
- Daily Stress & Energy Levels: External stress and your body’s overall energy or battery level.

How to Optimize It
Use your Training Readiness Score to make informed decisions about your daily activities, ensuring consistency and steady progress.
