• hazard ratios for muscle mass and strength
• functional independence as the north star
• dead hang targets for grip and shoulder endurance
• air squat hold and wall sit for lower-body stamina
• VO2 max training and sub-eight-minute mile
• farmer’s carry for loaded posture and core stability
• vertical jump for explosive power and fall prevention
• practical benchmarks, progressions, and testing cadence
