Different views of movement
Duration, steps, heart rate and energy expenditure describe different aspects of activity. They are not interchangeable measures of fitness. A longer session does not automatically mean a more suitable session, and a single number cannot capture the demands of every kind of movement.
An index built around your record
Connefi’s current source compares recorded active energy with a personal baseline. An Activity Load index of 100 represents that baseline; the displayed index is capped at 200. It is a relative index, not a quality percentage or a target everyone should reach. A higher value means more recorded active energy relative to that comparison, not necessarily better health.
Context alongside the index
Steps, exercise and workout duration, heart rate and total energy can provide supporting context. Total energy is energy expenditure, not food intake. These values are not all terms in the current index. Their availability depends on connected records and permissions, so an empty field should remain an empty field rather than a reassuring zero.
Keep comparisons consistent
A useful comparison requires recorded active energy and a usable baseline above zero. If you change devices or sources, review the recording method before interpreting a shift. General activity guidance addresses populations; it does not specify your personal daily load target.
Connect the number with your routine
Use the index to frame a question about the routine you followed, alongside sleep, your goals and how you feel. Connefi does not currently calculate a separate strain-performance score. Its activity display is a way to organize recorded evidence, not proof of readiness or a prescription for tomorrow.
Research & sources
Research provides context; it does not validate Connefi’s exact scores or establish individual outcomes.
