Early days
EnduraX uses conservative fallback paths while the athlete’s history is still building. It does not label a short history as a mature baseline.
DARS · methodology overview
One number. Five signals. Your range.
The daily read is designed to make context easier to discuss—not to turn a complex athlete into a universal score.

The number starts the conversation.
Your normal range—not a population leaderboard
Readiness guidance only. A DARS score is not a diagnosis, injury prediction, treatment recommendation, or medical clearance.
What the read considers.
The current composite weights keep the five domains visible. Missing optional data degrades to simpler paths rather than pretending certainty.
0120%
Training load
Recent work, duration, intensity, and perceived effort are read as training context—not as a standalone injury prediction.
0220%
Recovery
Connected HRV and resting-heart-rate context can supplement how the athlete says they are recovering.
0315%
Sleep
Duration, quality, and supported sleep context are considered against what is normal for the athlete.
0420%
Fueling
Athlete-reported or supported fueling context is read relative to the work being asked of the body.
0525%
RED-S protection
Protective patterns can lower the daily read and prompt a conversation; they do not diagnose RED-S.
Personal-range philosophy
Different athletes should not have to look “normal” in the same way.
Biometric range
Supported recovery biometrics can shift to a personal 28-day comparison after at least 14 days of usable history.
Self-report range
Monitored self-report fields begin personal-deviation analysis after at least 21 days and use a rolling history.
Always contextual
A value outside the range is a reason to look closer. It is not proof that something is wrong, and it is never automatic clearance.
Evidence informs the model. It does not erase uncertainty.
These sources help shape the protective and monitoring philosophy. They do not make DARS itself a validated clinical instrument, and EnduraX does not reproduce a screening questionnaire as a diagnosis.
The limits matter
Context supports judgment. It does not replace it.
Wearable gaps, self-report bias, short baselines, illness, medications, device differences, and changing circumstances can all affect the read. Persistent symptoms, pain, or health concerns belong with a qualified professional regardless of score.
