WHOOP · Schema

WHOOP Cycle

Schema for a WHOOP physiological cycle, the foundational time-window WHOOP uses to compute daily Strain. A Cycle typically lasts ~24 hours from sleep-onset and contains a Strain score, average and max heart rate, and total energy expenditure in kilojoules.

Properties

Name	Type	Description
id	integer	Unique identifier for the physiological cycle.
user_id	integer	The WHOOP user the cycle belongs to.
created_at	string	Time the cycle was recorded in WHOOP.
updated_at	string	Last time the cycle record was updated.
start	string	ISO-8601 start of the cycle.
end	string	ISO-8601 end of the cycle. Absent for the in-progress cycle.
timezone_offset	string	Member-local timezone offset (e.g. -05:00).
score_state	string	Whether scoring has completed for the cycle.
score	object	Cycle score. Present only when score_state = SCORED.
