Weekly vs Daily

In alignment with mortality research, the WELL Rider assumes a weekly cadence of tracking and awarding WELL points. Thus, all WELL points are accumulated up to the maximum during a 7-day period, and then reset to 0. You can choose to accrue all activity-based WELL points during 1 day and skip the remaining 6 days to achieve the same mortality benefit.

Weekend warrior same mortality benefit Seen this before. Need to pull the study. Associations of “Weekend Warrior” Physical Activity With Incident Disease and Cardiometabolic Health From Sep 2024.

When compared to inactive (<150 minutes moderate-to-vigorous physical activity/week), both weekend warrior (267 total associations; 264 [99%] with lower disease risk; hazard ratio [HR] range, 0.35–0.89) and regular activity (209 associations; 205 [98%] with lower disease risk; HR range, 0.41–0.88) were broadly associated with lower risk of incident disease. The strongest associations were observed for cardiometabolic conditions such as incident hypertension (weekend warrior: HR, 0.77 [95% CI, 0.73–0.80]; P=1.2×10-27; regular: HR, 0.72 [95% CI, 0.68–0.77]; P=4.5×10-28), diabetes (weekend warrior: HR, 0.57 [95% CI, 0.51–0.62]; P=3.9×10-32; regular: HR, 0.54 [95% CI, 0.48–0.60]; P=8.7×10-26), obesity (weekend warrior: HR, 0.55 [95% CI, 0.50–0.60]; P=2.4×10-43, regular: HR, 0.44 [95% CI, 0.40–0.50]; P=9.6×10-47), and sleep apnea (weekend warrior: HR, 0.57 [95% CI, 0.48–0.69]; P=1.6×10-9; regular: HR, 0.49 [95% CI, 0.39–0.62]; P=7.4×10-10). When weekend warrior and regular activity were compared directly, there were no conditions for which effects differed significantly. Observations were similar when activity was thresholded at the sample median (≥230.4 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity/week).
