Understand the estimate
A recovery window, not an exact countdown.
The calculator puts recent training and soreness timing into context. Individual recovery varies, so use the trend and your normal movement as the useful signals.
The limits of the estimate
The result cannot diagnose delayed-onset muscle soreness, predict an exact recovery time or clear you for another hard session.
Can I see the result without email?
Yes. Email is optional and the complete result remains available on the page.
What if the pain feels sharp or keeps worsening?
Stop using the estimate as a training guide and seek qualified advice, particularly after an injury or when symptoms are severe, persistent or worsening.
