Frequently Asked Questions

When you set your objective, EKYGAI proposes a complete programme in seconds: training phases (Base, Plateau, Peak, Taper), detailed sessions week by week, and a predictive trajectory of your progression. You see everything before confirming. If the proposal doesn't suit you, you regenerate in one click or make adjustments. You validate; the platform provides the information for you to decide.

Yes. Five intelligent agents continuously analyse your fatigue, stress and results. If you miss sessions, the system proposes a reduced load, suggests recovery sessions in place of intense ones, and redistributes tasks across the following weeks. You validate or adjust these proposals. You don't start from scratch — you pick up where your body is at.

Each programme is structured into clearly identified phases: Base (build endurance), Plateau (increase capacity), Peak (prepare for performance), Taper (rest before the objective). You can see exactly which phase you are in, how many weeks remain, and what each phase targets. No black box.

Each session is structured in three parts: warm-up, main set and cool-down. For each exercise, you see the duration, target heart rate zone, RPE (rating of perceived exertion), energy system engaged and execution instructions. This level of detail helps you understand exactly what each session works on and how to execute it.

It is a graph based on the Banister scientific model that shows you, week by week, the estimated progression of your fitness, fatigue and performance. It gives you an indication of the week when you could reach your peak performance. After execution, the actual curve is overlaid on the predicted curve so you can compare and adjust. It is a decision-support tool, not a guarantee of results.

Sessions appear phase by phase in your calendar, not all at once. Two days before the end of each phase, you receive a notification to validate or decline the transition to the next phase. If your actual results diverge from predictions, the system proposes adjustments that you accept, modify or refuse before materialising the next phase. You retain control at every stage.

After each session, a quick form (~15 seconds) asks you about your perceived exertion (RPE), sleep quality, and any pain. If you miss a session, you indicate why (fatigue, injury, no time, weather). All this data feeds the Banister model (fitness-fatigue) which calculates your accumulated load by combining your subjective data, heart rate variability (HRV) and actual results. If your indicators drop, the platform suggests reducing the intensity of your upcoming sessions. This information helps you make the right decision — it does not replace the advice of a healthcare professional.

A safety agent monitors your metrics continuously via an anomaly detection system (EWMA). It triggers alerts and suggests reducing the load if your HRV drops, if your cumulative load exceeds a critical threshold, or if your stress is too high. In critical situations, it recommends a rest day or a medical check-up. EKYGAI alerts you, but the decision is yours — and if in doubt, consult a healthcare professional.

Your dashboard displays six indicators: energy, fatigue, progression, load, compliance and activity. Each indicator has a diagnosis (Optimal, Rapid progression, Stagnation, Chronic fatigue, Overload). In addition, the Banister trajectory graph overlays two distinct curves: the predicted curve (dashed, covering the full programme duration) and the actual curve (solid, based on your real sessions). At a glance, you can see the gap between what was planned and what you have actually achieved — fitness, fatigue, performance and supercompensation, week by week.

Yes. EKYGAI operates in two layers: a general planning layer (phases, cycles, tasks) and dedicated engines for each discipline. For triathlon, a specific 6-step engine distributes loads between swimming, cycling and running according to your level in each discipline. It adds strength training (GPP in the Base phase, SPP in the Plateau phase), yoga, core work and recovery to create a coherent and structured programme. Each discipline has its own rules: duration caps, level-adapted methods, discipline-specific volume factors. Nothing is left to chance — everything is encoded and tested.

The triathlon engine distributes sessions proportionally to your discipline sliders. If you are weak in swimming (slider 3) and strong in running (slider 8), you will receive more swimming and GPP strength training will target swimming muscles (lats, shoulders). Training methods are adapted to your level: a beginner swimmer will do technique drills where an advanced swimmer will do speed sets. Volume is calibrated per discipline (swimming factor 50%, cycling 85%, running 70%) to respect the effort density of each sport.

Yes. EKYGAI has five dedicated engines: running (with injury caps per level), cycling (progressive long rides, indoor trainer), swimming (compulsory drills even for elite, band warm-up), strength training (609 exercises, muscle group rotation) and triathlon (three-discipline orchestration). Each engine applies rules specific to its discipline: a beginner runner will never exceed 60 minutes in the Base phase; a beginner swimmer will dedicate 40% of their session to drills. These are the same rules a specialist coach would apply.

No, and that is not the goal. EKYGAI is a decision-support tool that assists both athletes and coaches. The platform offers three collaboration modes: AI Autonomous (the AI suggests, you decide and execute), Collaborative (you decide with your coach, the AI provides the data), Full Coach (your coach leads with the AI as an analysis assistant). You can switch modes at any time from the app.

The Banister model (published in 1975, scientifically validated), your actual training load, your physiological profile (resting HR, max HR, VO2max, EKY level), your sensor data (heart rate, power, cadence) and your execution history. This data is presented to help you make informed decisions about your training. These are not random algorithms — it is sports science made available to you.

Ask EkyBot, our integrated AI assistant. It knows your programme, your current phase, your level, your fatigue and your objectives through the DOME system which injects the full context. It explains in plain language why a particular method was suggested and what it targets. You have all the information to understand and decide. Available on web and mobile.

No. EKYGAI's AI does not generate text like a chatbot — it calculates loads, methods and durations based on your level, availability and objectives. Each programme and session is created specifically for you from your complete profile: EKY level (1 to 10), heart rate, VO2max, disciplines, availability and objectives. Materialisation of each session is instantaneous (in milliseconds). There are no pre-filled templates: the engine recalculates every time — it is for you to validate the result.

Your coach has a complete cockpit to support you: they see your KPIs, compliance, predictive trajectory, and completed vs planned sessions. They can adjust your programme via three doors: Preserve (injury/illness pause with deconditioning calculation), Improve (adjust future phases), Reorganise (change your days/times without altering content). EKYGAI provides the data and analysis tools; your coach makes the decisions with you. Everything is logged.

No. Mode changes are logged with timestamp, actor and reason. The athlete always retains the ability to revert to AI Autonomous. The system respects athlete autonomy by design.

The mobile app connects via Bluetooth (BLE) to four sensors simultaneously: heart rate strap (heart rate + RR intervals), power meter (watts + left/right balance), cycling cadence sensor (RPM), running cadence sensor (steps/min). Compatibility with connected indoor trainers (FTMS protocol) is planned for indoor training. The app distinguishes between outdoor mode (GPS) and indoor mode (timer + sensors). Sensor reconnection is automatic.

Yes. EKYGAI reads your completed workouts via Apple Health (iOS) or Health Connect (Android). Once you authorise the app to read your workouts, sessions recorded by your watch (Garmin, Fitbit, Polar, Apple Watch, etc.) are automatically synchronised into your EKYGAI calendar with heart rate, GPS, distance and other metrics. You can revoke access at any time from your system settings.

Yes. For outdoor sports (running, cycling, hiking, walking), the app displays a real-time map with your route, speed, distance, elevation and calories. Tracking continues even when the app goes into the background. In the event of a disconnection, the session is saved locally and synchronised when connectivity is restored.
