This page defines the purpose of Teko and the situations in which it should not be used.
Adults aged 18 or over, without health conditions that contraindicate exercise, who train for running and general fitness recreationally. The application was not designed for athletes in rehabilitation, for pregnant people, for people with cardiovascular or metabolic conditions under medical follow-up, or for use under prescription.
In case of persistent pain, recent injury or any health condition, the user must consult a qualified professional before following any suggestion from the application.
Training is built by Teko's engine, which operates on deterministic physiological safety rules: load progression limits, the relationship between recent and habitual effort, routine variation, and the signals reported by the user (pain, fatigue, sleep and energy). When those limits are reached, the engine reduces or declines the session. That decision is a fixed and auditable rule, not the output of artificial intelligence.
Suggestions derive from the data recorded by the user. Sparse or inaccurate data produces equally inaccurate recommendations, and the application indicates when a value is estimated rather than measured.
In the absence of a dedicated sensor, several metrics are estimates, including calories, effort, predicted pace and body composition. The application presents them as estimates, and not as clinical measurements.
Teko's assistant provides explanations and answers questions; it does not define the user's training. Details and limits in Teko Intelligence.
