Performance Metrics Science
Understanding how we calculate athlete readiness, recovery, and engagement
Readiness Score
The Readiness Score (0-10) measures how prepared an athlete is for their next training session. It combines workout freshness, recent completion rates, and training consistency.
Where:
- • = Readiness Score (0-10)
- • = Freshness Score based on days since last workout
- • = Completion Rate (7-day rolling average)
- • = Consistency Score (penalty for skipped workouts)
Optimal Range: 7-9 (ready for normal training intensity)
Concerning Range: Below 5 (consider recovery or modified training)
Recovery Score
The Recovery Score (0-100%) indicates how well an athlete has recovered from previous training stress. It uses an exponential recovery curve modified by training intensity and volume.
Where:
- • = Hours since last workout
- • = Recovery rate constant (0.04)
- • = Intensity modifier (0.85-1.1)
- • = Volume modifier (0.9-1.0)
Full Recovery: 48-72 hours (>95%)
Adequate Recovery: 24-48 hours (70-95%)
Engagement Score
The Engagement Score (0-100%) measures athlete commitment through training adherence, consistency, and workout quality. It provides insight into long-term training success predictors.
Where:
- • = Engagement Score (0-100%)
- • = Adherence Rate (completed/scheduled workouts)
- • = Consistency Factor (1 - skip rate)
- • = Quality Score (duration compliance)
Elite Range: 85-95% (optimal for performance gains)
Concerning Range: Below 70% (risk of detraining)
