Medical disclaimer

Not a diagnosis. Consult a doctor before starting exercise.

Strong After 40 provides general information comparing self-reported fitness results with published population reference data. It is for education and motivation only. It is not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and it doesn't create a doctor–patient or coach–client relationship.

• Talk to your doctor before starting a new exercise program or doing any maximal-effort test, especially if you have heart, lung, metabolic, joint or other health conditions, are pregnant, or take medications that affect heart rate.
• Stop any test immediately if you feel chest pain, dizziness, unusual shortness of breath, or pain.
• A low percentile doesn't mean you're unhealthy, and a high one doesn't mean you're healthy. Many factors aren't captured here.
• Smartwatch and home-device results are estimates and may differ from clinical measurements.
• Product mentions and affiliate or sponsor placements aren't endorsements for your individual situation.

If you think you may have a medical emergency, call your local emergency number.
