About this content

PounceFit is a tool for the people who run assessments: fitness professionals, dietitians and physicians. The articles and calculators on this site work as the technical manual for that tool. They explain the formulas and protocols the app applies, where each one came from and in which population it was validated.

What this content is, and what it is not

• We reproduce formulas and protocols published in the scientific literature. We do not create protocols or make diagnoses.
• It is not a training, diet or treatment recommendation. Interpreting the result and deciding what to do belong to the professional who runs the assessment.
• We do not publish weight-loss promises, before-and-after photos or aesthetic targets for weight or body fat.

How we prepare it

• Every technical claim has a source, listed at the end of the page.
• If we cannot verify a figure in the original text, we do not publish it.
• The calculators use the same calculation code as the PounceFit app. An automated test checks that the site and the app give the same result.
• When a professional registered with their professional licensing board reviews a page, their name and registration number appear on it.
