Goals
- To give the user a single headline metric to gauge their fitness and fitness progress.
- To give them a semi-regular opportunity to be assessed so they can see their progress.
Background and strategic fit
The fitness level metric is core to Afterburner. It provides the central longterm progress metric for the user to measure themselves and others against.
Specifications
The user's fitness level is assessed solely by a fitness test that they are only allowed to perform when they first use the app and when their realised impact credit bar is full. When they complete the test, they are given their new fitness level and their realised impact credit returns to zero.
Fitness Level
The range of fitness level is between 0 and 50, where 0 is morbidly obese and 50 is elite athlete.
Cardio Fitness Bias
The user may have a higher level of cardiovascular fitness relative to their muscular strength. The diversion between these two core fitness traits is also assessed during a fitness test and is represented by the cardio fitness bias figure.
The figure is used when calculating magnitude and halflife for fitness, for each adaptive response type.
Fitness Test
The fitness test is a special type of workout activity that assesses the user's general fitness level. More details to follow.
