The Fitness category in the Insights page plays a crucial role in shaping your Wellness Score in the Vively app. It evaluates how your physical activity impacts your metabolic health by analysing four key sub-categories:
1. Workout Time
What it Measures:
The total duration of your structured workouts, including activities like strength training, cardio, yoga, and other intentional exercises.
Data is gathered from Apple Health, Google Fit, or a connected wearable device.
Impact on Wellness Score:
Regular exercise supports glucose regulation and overall metabolic health.
A higher workout time contributes positively to your overall Wellness Score.
2. Movement Regularity
What it Measures:
How consistently you stay active throughout the day, including steps, light movement, and breaks from prolonged sitting.
Tracked through Apple Health, Google Fit, or wearables like Fitbit, Garmin, and Oura.
Impact on Wellness Score:
Frequent movement helps prevent glucose spikes and supports better insulin sensitivity.
Staying active regularly throughout the day improves your Wellness Score more than isolated workout sessions alone.
3. Strength
What it Measures:
The frequency and duration of strength-based exercises, such as weightlifting, resistance training, and bodyweight exercises.
Logged manually or tracked through a connected wearable.
Impact on Wellness Score:
Strength training helps improve metabolic health, muscle mass, and glucose control.
Consistently incorporating strength exercises boosts your Wellness Score by supporting long-term metabolic efficiency.
4. Aerobic Efficiency
What it Measures:
Duration that you spend in low or moderate exercise intensity
Impact on Wellness Score:
Aerobic efficiency refers to the body's ability to utilise oxygen during sustained physical activities efficiently.
Higher aerobic efficiency means the body can perform better with less perceived effort, leading to overall cardiovascular health/
