Resting Heart Rate

Heart rate is how often your heart beats per minute, typically 60-100 times for adults. Tachycardia is a fast rate, while bradycardia is slow, but all three can be normal.

Strength Capacity

Endurance is the ability to sustain a high level of physical activity for a long period of time, while strength is the ability to exert maximal force in a short period of time.

Optimal Training Type

Each person responds to different types of exercise in an individual way influenced by genetics. Your optimal training type may determine the rate at which you respond to different kinds of exercise.

Risk of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Rupture

The anterior cruciate ligament is the most injured ligament of the knee. It’s located within the joint cavity connecting the femur and tibia. The ligament is a crucial structure.

Risk of Achilles Tendon Injury

The Achilles tendon is the largest and strongest tendon in the body, connecting the calf muscles to the heel bone and helping us to walk, run, jump, or stand on our toes.

Muscle Regeneration

Muscle regeneration is a natural process that occurs in the body as a response to injury or damage to muscle tissue. It can be stimulated by exercise and nutrition.

Lactate Production

Sometimes your muscles need energy faster than they are supplied with oxygen. When there is a lack of oxygen (e.g. during exercise), glucose is metabolised into lactate instead of the usual pyruvate.

Endurance Capacity

Endurance is the ability to sustain exercise over time. High endurance improves heart and lung health, prevents diseases, and boosts energy levels. Regular exercise and yoga help improve endurance.
