What people do today

🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A mobile app that calculates personalized, gradual exercise intensity ramp-up schedules based on user inactivity duration
  2. A wearable-integrated dashboard that monitors physiological stress markers to suggest optimal workout intensity limits for returning athletes
  3. An educational platform connecting users with sports medicine specialists to explain the 'open window' theory of immune suppression after exercise
