What Is the Readiness Score?
The Sahha Readiness Score is a daily health score that represents how prepared a user’s body and mind are for physical and mental activity.
It combines recovery, recent activity load, sleep, and physiological stress data into a single score that helps apps understand whether a user is ready for high effort, maintaining current intensity, or prioritising rest and recovery.
This score turns complex recovery signals into an actionable measure that supports personalised training, rest, and lifestyle recommendations.
Why Is the Readiness Score Important?
Understanding readiness helps determine how well the body can handle physical and cognitive demands on a given day.
Even strong training habits can be undermined by poor recovery or accumulated stress. The Readiness Score highlights recovery and fatigue signals that may not be obvious from raw data alone, enabling apps to guide users toward the right balance between exertion and rest.
How to Interpret the Readiness Score
The Readiness Score is presented on a scale from 0 to 100.
Higher scores generally indicate that recovery is strong and the body is prepared for more intense activity. Lower scores suggest incomplete recovery, accumulated fatigue, or elevated stress, signalling the need for lighter activity or additional rest.
Tracking the Readiness Score over time helps reveal trends in recovery and fatigue rather than focusing on a single day.
Factors Contributing to the Readiness Score
The Readiness Score is influenced by multiple recovery and workload factors, including:
- Sleep quality and sleep duration
- Recent activity load and exercise intensity
- Physiological stress indicators
- Variability in recovery patterns after activity
- Balance between activity and rest
These factors are combined to reflect overall readiness rather than focusing on any single signal.
What Data Is Used From Phones and Wearables?
The Readiness Score adapts based on the data available from connected devices.
Wearable devices typically provide detailed signals related to sleep, activity load, and physiological stress. Smartphones may contribute contextual data related to movement, activity behaviour, and routine patterns.
Sahha’s scoring model normalises these inputs to ensure consistent readiness scoring across different devices and data sources.
How to Improve the Readiness Score
The Readiness Score improves when recovery is prioritised, activity load is balanced, and stress is managed.
Common ways to improve the Readiness Score include:
- Improving sleep quality and maintaining consistent sleep schedules
- Avoiding consecutive days of high-intensity exercise without recovery
- Incorporating rest days or active recovery sessions
- Managing stress through relaxation, mindfulness, or breathing exercises
- Adjusting training intensity based on recovery status
Small, consistent changes that support recovery help improve readiness over time.
