The cultivation of disciple through the tracking of baseline health metrics.

During the 2024 spring Tree Planting season, we tracked biometrics of Tree Planters using the WHOOP strap (more information available here). The data collection was not conducted in a professional laboratory, but by individuals using everyday technology.

We focused on three primary metrics: Strain, Calories, and Recovery. We do have more data available including and not limited to; Resting Heart Rate, Heart Rate Variability Average Heart Rate, Sleep Performance {SWS(deep), REM, LIGHT, AWAKE}, and Respiratory Rate.

We tracked 4 planters (2 Female, and 2 Male) over 9 weeks (May 1, 2024 - July 2, 2024).

Our goal is to provide Tree Planters with insights into the physical demands of their work, helping them understand the exertion required to perform at a high level.

We aim for this data to pave the way for more comprehensive and updated analyses by trained professionals in this field. This project marks a preliminary effort to enhance the perception the world has of tree planters; as, Industrial Athletes.
