Work Capacity
Measured
Power your application with the most advanced APIs for quantifying athletic performance. Don't just log workouts, measure fitness.
The Physics of Fitness.
Forwod enables training apps to quantify fitness for users, so they can train smarter, measure progress, and maximize gains.
Outsource the science of human performance to us, so you can deploy a world-class biomechanics engine to your customers today.
We distill complex multi-modal training into the currency of fitness.
“Fitness is... your work capacity across broad time and modal domains.”
Core Analytical Metrics
Integrate our biomechanical engine directly into your architecture
to transform raw data into high-fidelity fitness metrics.
Workout Power
Translate workout logs into horsepower or watts.
This endpoint quantifies true mechanical intensity across multi-modal movements. By applying our Newtonian engine to "flat" data (reps, weight, and time), we normalize disparate physical modalities into a universal energy currency, revealing an athlete's absolute power output in any given protocol.
RepMax
Capture peak power for maximal-effort repetitions.
RepMax calculates the high-force, short-duration ceiling of an athlete's performance. By analyzing the absolute mechanical output of isolated maximal-effort sets, this endpoint identifies the high-intensity 'anchor' of the power-duration profile and defines the athlete's absolute kinetic ceiling.
Kinetic Work Capacity (KWC™)
Overall fitness across broad time and modal domains
Move beyond individual workout tracking to quantify an athlete's true physical engine. This metric aggregates trailing telemetry to provide a unified snapshot of absolute mechanical power, establishing a definitive baseline for longitudinal performance tracking.
Allometric Power Quotient (APQ™)
A universally normalized kinetic performance index.
Evaluate true mass-normalized biomechanical capability. APQ™ utilizes advanced allometric scaling to convert raw mechanical output into a universal, dimensionless scalar, enabling equitable cohort comparisons across all body types.
Power Curve
Generate an Omni-Domain Power-Duration (OmPD) curve.
Visualize the full spectrum of physical capacity. By synthesizing data from varied workouts, this endpoint maps mechanical power decay and fatigue resistance, providing athletes with a definitive map of their power-producing potential from 1-second bursts to endurance efforts.
Pythia
Predictive time forecasting for future workouts.
Eliminate pacing guesswork with high-fidelity performance predictions. By intersecting the demands of future training with an athlete's established OmPD curve and APQ™, Pythia calculates precise completion times, transforming historical kinetic data into actionable foresight.
