Questions about tired-day training
How does ZOVA detect fatigue or poor sleep before a workout?

AI training insight explains the cycle map, intensity ceiling (RPE), clearance logic and exercise choices. Every number in the plan is computed in code by fixed rules, so the same profile always produces the same plan; missing or out-of-range inputs fall back to conservative defaults listed at the end of the report ().
Does ZOVA explain why it changed my workout, and can I undo the change?
Yes. Adjustment log records the original plan, the new version and the reason; confirm or roll back.
Does ZOVA automatically sync my sleep and health data to make these adjustments?
Syncs with Apple Watch and Apple Health. The app is available on iOS, Android.
