What is a 'Readiness' score?

A 'Readiness' score, like the one on the new Apple Watch Series 12, combines various health metrics such as sleep, activity, and heart rate variability to give you an overall picture of your body's recovery. It helps you decide if it's a good day for intense exercise or if you should take it easier, optimising your training and well-being.
