A Body Shock value of 0 indicates no significant impact or force is being applied to the body, suggesting low activity levels or a very gentle movement.

What Body Shock values are considered risky?

Values above 200 can indicate a higher risk of injury. Monitoring these levels helps athletes manage their training and recovery strategies effectively.

How can I reduce Body Shock during my workouts?

To reduce Body Shock, consider incorporating low-impact exercises, using proper footwear, and ensuring adequate recovery between high-impact sessions. Strengthening muscles around your joints can also help absorb impact better.

How does Body Shock vary by age and fitness level?

Body Shock values may vary significantly based on individual age, fitness level, and activity type. Younger, fitter individuals may experience lower Body Shock values due to better muscle conditioning.
