Male, 60min @ 75% HRmax:   TRIMP ≈ 90-110
Female, 60min @ 75% HRmax: TRIMP ≈ 80-95

FTP (Functional Threshold Power)

# Test FTP estimation
cargo test test_ftp -- --nocapture

# Test 20-minute protocol
cargo test test_ftp_20min -- --nocapture

# Test 8-minute protocol
cargo test test_ftp_8min -- --nocapture

# Test ramp test
cargo test test_ftp_ramp -- --nocapture

Expected Values:

Beginner:     FTP ≈ 150W (20min test: 158W × 0.95)
Intermediate: FTP ≈ 250W (20min test: 263W × 0.95)
Elite:        FTP ≈ 380W (20min test: 400W × 0.95)

# Test Cooper 12-minute test
cargo test test_cooper_test -- --nocapture

# Test VDOT to VO2max conversion
cargo test test_vdot_to_vo2max -- --nocapture

Expected Values:

Beginner:     VO2max ≈ 35 ml/kg/min (Cooper: 1800m)
Intermediate: VO2max ≈ 49 ml/kg/min (Cooper: 2600m)
Elite:        VO2max ≈ 67 ml/kg/min (Cooper: 3400m)

Recovery & Sleep

# Test recovery score calculation
cargo test test_recovery -- --nocapture

# Test sleep quality analysis
cargo test test_sleep_analysis -- --nocapture

# Test sleep stage scoring
cargo test test_sleep_stages -- --nocapture

Expected Values:

Well-rested: Recovery score > 70, Sleep quality > 80%
Adequate:    Recovery score 50-70, Sleep quality 60-80%
Poor:        Recovery score < 50, Sleep quality < 60%

Nutrition

# Test BMR/TDEE calculation
cargo test test_nutrition -- --nocapture

# Test macronutrient distribution
cargo test test_macros -- --nocapture

Expected Values:
