Clinical Guidance

BMI is a screening measure of body size, not a direct measure of body fat. The standard WHO categories are underweight (<18.5), normal (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), and obese (≥30).

BMI can overestimate body fat in athletes with high muscle mass and underestimate it in older adults with low muscle mass. Interpret it alongside waist circumference and clinical context rather than as a standalone diagnosis.

How It Works

Calculate target hemoglobin and hematocrit values for altitude training camps, and estimate performance benefit from erythropoietic response to hypoxic exposure

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Erythropoietic response — The erythropoietic response recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the altitude training hgb target result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the erythropoietic response for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate target hemoglobin and hematocrit values for altitude training camps, and estimate performance benefit from erythropoietic response to hypoxic exposure. Use the altitude training hgb target result to inform your calculation.
