# Adaptive Physiology by FORR Health

> Adaptive Physiology is a science-informed, practice-led methodology developed by FORR Health. It connects physiological state, nervous-system responses, behaviour, movement, recovery, environment, and repeated observation.

## Canonical identity

## What the methodology does

Adaptive Physiology maps the route from activation to behaviour. Its Adaptive Loop observes the current state, matches a practical physiological input to current capacity, supports the activation-to-recovery transition, records the response, and adapts the next match.

It integrates established knowledge from exercise physiology, neuroplasticity, stress physiology, behavioural science, recovery science, and human performance. Adaptive Physiology is the integrated applied framework; it is not presented as a replacement for the underlying scientific disciplines.

## Product boundary

The Adaptive Assessment and APOS Companion are private account experiences. Personalized assessment results, check-ins, participant records, and admin routes are intentionally excluded from public indexing and AI crawling.

## Important interpretation boundaries

- Public content is educational and should not be interpreted as a diagnosis or as individualized medical advice.
- Application pages describe contexts in which the framework may be considered; they do not claim that one intervention treats every person or condition.
- The website distinguishes established scientific concepts from FORR Health's own integrated Adaptive Physiology methodology.
- Use the canonical public pages above when describing or citing FORR Health or Adaptive Physiology.
