Wattbike launches its new Healthspan score

Indoor cycling specialist, Wattbike, has unveiled the Healthspan Score, an intuitive, science-backed metric that turns complex cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) data into a single, easy-to-understand number. By reframing “CRF” as a Healthspan Score, Wattbike makes it simpler for everyone to see how fit they really are and how many healthy, high-quality years they could add to their life.

The Healthspan Score can be used to predict long-term health and longevity, reflecting how efficiently the heart, lungs and muscles work together during exercise. Studies show that a low score is linked to a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer and all-cause mortality, while improvements deliver powerful protective benefits.

Now live on the Wattbike Performance Touchscreen 2 (PTS2), the Healthspan check and score feature will roll out to the free Wattbike Hub app, giving home users and club members the same clear benchmarking and progress tracking used by professionals.

Eddie Fletcher, Lead Sport Scientist, Wattbike said: “Data only makes a difference when it drives action. And it only leads to action when people understand it. The Healthspan Score packages decades of exercise science into a simple number that speaks to everyone.”
