Protocol 9 — Knee Pain Triage is the rule the system applies whenever the Athlete logs a discomfort entry in the knee region. The protocol classifies the entry on a 5-point severity scale, references the Athlete's recent Execution Precision trend and longitudinal Adaptation Rate, and dispatches one of three responses: clear (continue current prescription with monitoring against the Athlete's True Normal), modify (replace supra-threshold work with low-cadence Z2), or rest (substitute full rest days). Protocol 9 does not diagnose; it gates mechanical load until clinical input is received.

Protocols: Protocol 11 — Failure Horizon; Protocol 10 — Adaptive Workout

The metric traverses the closed loop: Intent is the .zwo prescription the system computed against the Athlete’s True Normal. Telemetry is the .fit recording of the executed session. Adaptation is the longitudinal movement of the metric itself, logged against the True Normal and feeding back into the next day’s prescription via Protocol 10 (Adaptive Workout).
