Intensity

Definition and motivations

Le Robert (French dictionary):

Degree of activity, force, or power.

What is intensity in a workout? There is no measure of intensity with a known physical unit. In fact, intensity is hard to define, because it is relative to each person's practice and depends on many variables… Which works out well: when you train and take notes, you can provide as many variables as you like, and the more you provide, the better we can refine the calculation of what we consider intensity!

Over time, we will develop other analysis systems better suited to other sports (with the possible exception of Zumba… let's not push our luck).

For beginners

Standardized, exhaustive, and easy to interpret, it is the first metric beginners should study: the intensity curve goes up = you are progressing; it goes down = watch out for stagnation, fatigue, and above all a lack of consistency (the worst enemy of progress).
