Training & recovery
ACWRAcute : Chronic Workload Ratio — 7-day load vs 28-day; 0.8–1.3 is the sweet spot.
HRVHeart Rate Variability — beat-to-beat variation; higher usually means better recovered.
RHRResting Heart Rate.
BBBody Battery — Garmin's 0–100 energy estimate.
VO₂maxMaximal oxygen uptake — the best-validated aerobic-fitness & healthspan marker.
RPERate of Perceived Exertion — how hard a session felt, 1–10.
Z1–Z5Heart-rate training zones, from easiest (Z1) to maximal (Z5).
Zone 2Easy aerobic effort you can still hold a conversation in.
ReadinessGarmin Training Readiness score, 0–100.
LoadSession training load (Garmin's EPOC-based effort measure).
Stress est.An estimate (0–100) from your daytime HRV against your own baseline, for watches with no stress score. Under 25 rest, 25–50 low, 50–75 medium, over 75 high — a guess, not a measurement.
Equipment
TrainerIndoor bike trainer — a stand you clamp your bike into to ride indoors. A "smart" trainer controls resistance and reports power; rollers are the free-standing kind.
ErgErgometer — a machine that measures work; "rowing erg" is a rowing machine.
Power meterA bike sensor (pedals, crank or hub) that measures watts — the most precise way to pace a ride.
RuckWalking or hiking with a weighted pack or vest — low-impact strength and endurance.
SUPStand-Up Paddleboard.
Bloodwork & body composition
SHBGSex Hormone-Binding Globulin — binds testosterone; lower = more usable T.
Total TTotal testosterone (bound + free).
Bioavail. TTestosterone not bound to SHBG — the usable fraction.
LHLuteinizing Hormone — signals the testes to make testosterone.
FSHFollicle-Stimulating Hormone.
CKCreatine Kinase — a muscle-damage / training-load marker.
ALTAlanine aminotransferase — a liver enzyme.
eGFRestimated Glomerular Filtration Rate — kidney function.
TSHThyroid-Stimulating Hormone.
HbA1c3-month average blood sugar.
CBCComplete Blood Count.
DEXADual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry — body-composition & bone scan.
RSMIRelative Skeletal Muscle Index — muscle mass ÷ height².
RMRResting Metabolic Rate.
VATVisceral Adipose Tissue — fat around the organs.
Supplements
D3Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol).
K2 / MK-7Vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7).
EPAEicosapentaenoic acid — an omega-3.
DHADocosahexaenoic acid — an omega-3.
TMGTrimethylglycine (betaine) — methylation support.
KSM-66A standardized ashwagandha root extract.
LMNTAn electrolyte drink mix (sodium / potassium / magnesium).
Food
kcalKilocalorie — the "calorie" on food labels.
MacrosProtein, carbohydrate and fat, in grams — about 4, 4 and 9 kcal per gram.
MaintenanceThe calories that roughly hold you steady: resting metabolic rate × a light-activity factor + your training. An estimate, not a target.
Open Food FactsThe public, volunteer-built product database a barcode scan looks up.
Races & general
WTWilderness Traverse — an expedition-length, self-navigated adventure race (trek/paddle/bike).
ARAdventure Racing.
MTBMountain bike.
