FYT Methodology
FYT Methodology
FYT measures fitness through standardized physical performance, not inferred signals. The FYT Test uses compound bodyweight movements that simultaneously stress multiple fitness systems, including muscular endurance, cardiovascular capacity, coordination, and fatigue resistance. Test performance is converted into a percentile-based score (0–1000), allowing meaningful comparison across individuals. Unlike wearables and lab-based estimates that infer readiness or potential, FYT measures real output. This approach aligns with established practices in exercise science, military fitness testing, and athletic performance assessment, where demonstrated work capacity is one of the strongest indicators of functional fitness and health.
