When a metric is flagged yellow or red, QOOM generates structured recommendations intended as supportive guidance for qualified professionals.
Recommendation categories
| Category | Meaning | |---|---| | focus_area | Primary area needing attention | | coaching_cue | Actionable coaching suggestion | | exercise_emphasis | Suggested training focus | | retest | Suggested follow-up timing | | caution | Safety-related observation |
Each recommendation has a priority (high, moderate, low) and is linked to the specific metric that triggered it.
Program output
In addition to individual recommendations, QOOM produces a structured program output with:
- Focus areas — grouped by training objective (strength, power, mobility, stability, symmetry, endurance, neuromuscular control, movement quality)
- Suggested exercise categories — e.g. resistance, plyometric, balance/proprioception, mobility, gait retraining, landing mechanics, core stability
- Monitoring items — which metrics to track in subsequent sessions and how often
- Follow-up timing — suggested reassessment interval (2–6 weeks depending on the module and findings)
- Progression notes — when to advance based on measured improvement
How to use recommendations
- Review recommendations against your own professional assessment.
- Use them as a starting point for program design, not a finished prescription.
- Adapt recommendations to the subject's specific context, history, and goals.
- Ignore or override any recommendation that conflicts with your professional judgment.
What recommendations are not
- They are not treatment plans.
- They are not exercise prescriptions in the clinical sense.
- They do not account for the subject's full medical history, injuries, or individual constraints.
- They are not adaptive — they respond to the current session, not your ongoing program design.

Acting on recommendations
A typical workflow:
- Review grades and highlights.
- Read the top 1–3 high-priority recommendations.
- Confirm the finding against your observation of the capture.
- Adjust the subject's program as you normally would, informed by but not dictated by the output.
- Set the subject's next reassessment for the suggested interval.
