Physical Robustness Metrics

Meaning

Physical robustness metrics are quantifiable clinical and physiological measurements used to assess the overall resilience, functional capacity, and resistance of an individual’s body systems to various physical stressors and perturbations. These metrics move beyond simple strength or endurance to encompass deeper indicators of systemic health, such as heart rate variability, mitochondrial density, and recovery kinetics following intense effort. Tracking these parameters provides an objective measure of biological age and functional reserve.
