When looking at your last 3 month graph in your profile and you've had an injury, it just looks like you haven’t done anything. Add a little Cross icon to the timeline when injured. You can even take it as far as suggesting remedies and care to speed up the recovery process.

great idea, even to add niggles or to have it implanted with Stravas own Recovery app as it has graphs showing how the injury is improving.

It would seem to me that Strava has a lot of data and data sets that could be analyzed. It would be useful IMO if Strava could build an algorithm that notifies users when there are variances. Then the users could indicate injury, vacation, work issues  lack of motivation etc

Id like to add also that there should be block option for illness. Ive had various issues over the years where fitness drops off the graph but no explanation of why-adding this would explain that drop. It would also show in the weekly diary.

Great idea as others have said. My knee is sore and am not going to hit yearly goals, so would be nice to flag it and see my stats, fitness before and after, etc.

I’m about to have a hip arthroscopic procedure and I’d love a recovery option where I can track my progress. I won’t be running again till January so that would be a good short term goal to aim for

I just wrote a post about this in Strava. https://strava.app.link/WMMBTztMtFb

Hello, StravaIlluminati, I am currently injured and am taking time off running and hard cycling based on medical advice. To my knowledge there is no status for "injured" or "off season" or "taking a break" ETC... however the platform continues to give updates and downgrade its assessment of your physical status regardless. 

I suggest Strava add functionality that allows the user to set their status from a standard training setting (this would be default and basically what is currently done) to an "injured or “recovering” setting that would modify the calculations for fitness or stop reporting certain measurements that are not needed for someone who is not actively training.

Thoughts? #training, #injuredstatus, #additionalfeatures

I think it’s a great idea. I’d love an ice bath feature as well. Ice bath / cold therapy. Would be fantastic.

I strongly recommend that Strava introduces 'Physical Therapy' as a distinct workout category. This addition would be immensely beneficial for a wide range of users, including athletes undergoing rehabilitation, individuals recovering from injuries, and older adults seeking to maintain their physical health. Given the diverse range of activities already featured on Strava, such as canoeing, it seems both surprising and a significant oversight that physical therapy, an essential component of many people's fitness regimes, is not yet recognized. Incorporating this category would not only enhance the app's inclusivity but also provide valuable tracking and motivational support for those dedicated to their recovery and overall well-being.
