Frequently asked questions
- What is a fitness score?
- A fitness score is a summary number that represents physical performance so you can compare results over time. Useful scores are transparent about which qualities they include — such as strength and endurance — instead of treating one measurement as a complete picture of fitness.
- What does myKinesoScore™ measure?
- myKinesoScore™ measures overall fitness performance by combining a strength component and an endurance (running) component into one score. It is designed for performance tracking and progress insight, not for diagnosing health conditions.
- Is myKinesoScore™ a fitness test?
- myKinesoScore™ is an educational fitness scoring tool based on strength and endurance performance inputs. It helps you summarize and track those qualities, but it is not a laboratory test, medical exam, or certified athletic certification.
- How is myKinesoScore™ different from BMI?
- BMI is a height-and-weight ratio used as a general body-mass screening tool. myKinesoScore™ focuses on performance — strength and endurance results — rather than body mass index alone. The two answer different questions and are not interchangeable.
- How is myKinesoScore™ different from VO₂ Max?
- VO₂ max estimates cardiorespiratory fitness from aerobic capacity. myKinesoScore™ combines strength and endurance performance into an overall score, so it includes muscular performance as well as running-related fitness rather than aerobic capacity alone.
- How can I improve myKinesoScore™?
- Improve the strength side with progressive lifting and tracked major lifts, improve the endurance side with aerobic and running training, or work on both. Recalculate after training progress to see how the overall score responds.
- Is myKinesoScore™ an official military score?
- No. myKinesoScore™ is an educational overall fitness score for tracking strength and endurance performance. It is not an official Army, Marine Corps, Navy, or Air Force scorecard. Military calculators on KinesoScore are separate educational estimates.
