The complete metric index
Training focus, activity and coverage.
Strength, Hypertrophy, Power and Endurance are the four primary training emphases. The wider catalogue also describes activity, consistency, aerobic work, mobility, stability and training coverage.

These are reference definitions, rather than a list of metrics displayed in every app view. Each calculation requires compatible training data. Counts describe work and coverage; they do not establish gains in strength, muscle, mobility or fitness. Work Demand is listed under both Strength and Hypertrophy, giving 56 per-pillar references.
