How the Recovery Time Estimator Works
Calculation Method
Based on ACSM and NIH guidelines:
- Intensity: Higher effort increases recovery time.
- Sleep: <7 hours adds penalty, >9 hours reduces time.
- Nutrition: Poor quality increases time, excellent reduces it.
- Age: Older age slightly extends recovery.
Score (0-10) adjusts the base estimate (24-72 hours).
Recovery Levels
0-3: Fast - Recover within 24 hours.
4-6: Moderate - Recover within 48 hours.
7-10: Slow - Recover within 72 hours.
