Your Activity Score consists of six contributors that provide a comprehensive view of your activity throughout the day.
Stay Active
Move Every Hour
Meet Daily Goals
Training Frequency
Training Volume
Recovery Time
Activity Score and Contributor Ratings
Things to Keep in Mind
Stay Active
Definition & Measurement
Your inactive time during the last 24 hours (excluding rest periods and sleep), compared with the recommended amount, which is below eight hours per day. A high Stay Active contributor score means you’ve succeeded in moving consistently throughout the day.
Things to Remember
You’ll be asked to pay attention to your sedentary time if it exceeds ten hours per day.
Move Every Hour
Definition & Measurement
This contributor is determined by the amount of missed inactivity alerts the app has given you during the last 24 hours. A high Move Every Hour contributor score means you’ve succeeded in moving at least every 60 minutes and have followed your inactivity alerts as they’ve been presented.
Things to Remember
Stretching your legs for at least two minutes every hour increases blood flow, supports your body in functioning at an optimal level, and helps you to remain energized throughout the day. You’ll be asked to pay attention if you haven’t reacted to three or more inactivity alerts.
Meet Daily Goals
Definition & Measurement
The number of times you’ve reached your activity goal during a seven-day rolling window. Keep in mind that activity goals are assigned to you based on your Readiness level, age, and sex.
Things to Remember
We recommend trying to reach your activity goal at least five times per week. Anything below that will result in a lowered “Meet Daily Goals” contributor score.
Training Frequency
Definition & Measurement
This contributor evaluates how often you’ve engaged in high and medium intensity activities during a seven-day rolling window, measured via active calories. Keep in mind that you can view your total active calories by looking at the numerator in your Activity Goal Progress, which is located above your Activity Score on the Activity tab and on the Home 
tab in your Activity card.
Things to Remember
We recommend that you partake in high or medium intensity exercises at least three times a week. For Oura, an exercise means (for example) ten minutes of high-intensity movement, such as running, or 45 minutes of activity that’s equivalent to brisk walking.
Training Volume
Definition & Measurement
All of your activities during a seven-day rolling window, measured in active calories, and compared with recommendations for a person of the same age and sex.
Things to Remember
For a healthy adult, the recommended training volume is equivalent to approximately two hours of jogging or 4.5 hours of brisk walking per week (normally, the weekly volume is accumulated from many different types of activity). This recommended volume equates to 2,000-3,000 calories of medium-to-high intensity activity per week. If your training volume falls to 750-1,500 calories per week, you’ll see a negative impact on your contributor and likely your overall Activity Score as well.
Recovery Time
Definition & Measurement
The number of rest days you’ve had during a week and the timing of your last rest day. It’s recommended that you have at least one to two rest days in a week in roughly five-day intervals. An example of a rest day is when you don’t have more than ten minutes of high and 60 minutes of medium intensity activity.
Please note that recommended activity levels for a rest day depend on your age, sex, and personal activity averages. This means that if you're a highly active individual, the range of activity you'll be able to take on during a rest day may be slightly elevated in comparison to someone who's not as active. Regardless of how active you are on a regular basis, one to two rest days per week are still necessary for us to keep our mental, physical and emotional performance levels in-check.
Things to Remember
This contributor may seem counterintuitive to Activity measurements, but keep in mind that recovery is equally as important as pushing yourself through exercise and active movement. You’ll end up gaining more fitness and putting less strain on your body in the long-run if you follow a general pattern of pushing yourself, recovering, and then repeating.
Activity Score and Contributor Ratings
Readiness, Activity, and Sleep Scores — and their contributors — are rated on a scale of 0-100.
- 85-100: Optimal
- 70-84: Good
- 60-69: Fair
- 0-59: Pay Attention
An 85 or higher may be a sign that you are ready to take on new challenges. Scores below 70 indicate that you may benefit from prioritizing rest and recovery in the indicated areas.
Things to Keep in Mind
Data relative to your Activity insights are evaluated against general recommendations for factors such as how much regular exercise and daily movement you should be partaking in.
If you think your activity is being reported incorrectly, manually adding your activities and importing your workouts from third-party apps can result in accuracy improvements.
