What is a Recovery score? Works with WHOOP and Apple Watch
Your Recovery score tells you whether your body is ready to push today. Vita (100old.app), an iOS app, reads HRV, resting heart rate and sleep from your WHOOP or Apple Watch, computes a daily Recovery score, and has an AI coach translate it into a plain 'push or rest today'.
How the Recovery score is computed
Recovery comes down to three things: heart-rate variability (HRV), resting heart rate (RHR) and last night's sleep quality. Higher HRV, lower RHR and better sleep mean a higher score. Vita combines these into a 0–100 score and flags whether today leans 'go hard / moderate / recover'.
An enhancement for WHOOP users
If you wear a WHOOP, Vita uses your WHOOP recovery data directly, then layers on Apple Health and lab reports to build the cross-source, long-term trends the WHOOP app doesn't show — and lets the AI coach turn them into concrete actions for your goals. Without a WHOOP, Vita computes the same score from Apple Watch HRV and resting heart rate.
FAQ
Can I get a Recovery score without a WHOOP band?
Yes. Vita computes a daily Recovery score from Apple Watch HRV and resting heart rate, following a readiness logic. With a WHOOP it uses WHOOP data and merges both sources.
What does a low Recovery score mean?
Usually low HRV, elevated resting heart rate or short sleep — your body is still under load. Vita suggests dialing intensity down, catching up on sleep, or easy cardio.
How often does it update?
Every morning, based on the prior night's sleep and current physiology, so your status and advice are ready when you wake up.
