Frequently asked questions
What is a good score on these tests?
For resting heart rate and the Cooper/VO2max formulas the published reference values are on the test pages. For push-ups, plank and grip this site does not print a single "good" number, because no universal norm table could be verified to a primary publication — and each test page explains exactly that.
Are these tests medical advice?
No. They are population reference values for general information. Symptoms — chest pain, dizziness, fainting, shortness of breath — belong to a clinician, not to a norm table.
Why does this site refuse to print percentile tables?
Because most of the tables that circulate online are copies of copies. This site prints only values it can tie to a named publication; where it cannot, it says so instead of inventing one.
How do I use these tests?
Test the same way each time and watch your own trend. Your previous score is the comparison that matters most.
Measure, log, repeat
TempoLife keeps the trend: resting heart rate, workouts and recovery in one place, so the monthly re-test has context.
