## What is 6 Minute Heart Score?

Unlock the most powerful metric for cardiovascular fitness and longevity. 

6 Minute Heart Score™ is the first evidence-based scoring system built on Heart Rate Recovery (HRR) - a health and fitness metric scientifically validated to be superior to others such as heart rate variability (HRV). 
In just 6 minutes, assess your cardiovascular fitness and longevity through our proprietary, evidence-based scoring system.  Track your data over time to dial-in your training or get a much-needed wake-up call.

WHY HEART RATE RECOVERY (HRR)?
Wearables give you dozens of confusing data points, many of which are not evidence-based or accurate. 6 Minute Heart Score™ simplifies your fitness tracking by focusing on HRR: the single best assessment of cardiovascular fitness and longevity that you can easily test on your own. 

HOW IT WORKS:
1. Create a Quick Profile: The proprietary calculation uses your demographic data, exercise type, and individualized workout patterns.
2. Perform the Assessment: Follow our straightforward 6-minute exercise/rest protocol. 
3. Track Your Score: Instantly calculate a simple, trackable score based on pooled data from adult clinical studies.
4. Apple Health Integration: Syncs seamlessly with the Apple Health app to pull your workout data and track it alongside your scores.

WHO THIS IS FOR:
* Fitness enthusiasts & elite athletes: Dial-in your training.  See how changes to your exercise regimen impact your results.  
* Everyday users: Get an honest assessment of your fitness and longevity, and track changes over time as you improve your health.

FOR PROFESSIONALS:
Are you a personal trainer or coach?  Upgrade to Professional Mode to track your clients’ scores during their warmup.  Assess once weekly and monitor progress to display the beneficial effects of your training. 

REQUIREMENTS:
To use this app, you must have a method for measuring your heart rate (such as a smartwatch, chest strap pulse monitor, or the built-in handgrip sensors on gym cardio equipment).

CRITICAL MEDICAL DISCLAIMER:
Scoring is strictly based on pooled data from healthy adults. If you have known heart disease or take heart rate-slowing medications, this scoring system may not be accurate. 6 Minute Heart Score™ is a fitness tracking tool and does not provide medical advice.
