Recovery Time Estimator — Fórmula
## Recovery Time Estimation
**Recovery (hours) = (Intensity x sqrt(Duration) / 3) x Experience Factor**
This heuristic model considers that recovery scales with both workout intensity and the square root of duration (longer sessions increase recovery need but not linearly).
### Experience Factors
| Level | Factor |
|---|---|
| Beginner | 1.5x (slower recovery) |
| Intermediate | 1.0x |
| Advanced | 0.75x (faster recovery) |

Ejemplo Resuelto
An intermediate athlete doing a hard 60-minute session.
- sqrt(60) = 7.75
- Recovery = (7 x 7.75 / 3) x 1.0
- = 54.2 / 3 = 18 hours
- Recovery days = 18 / 24 = 0.8 days
