Your point in the season decides which numbers come first and who signs them off.
Pre-season
Baseline, then build
Before the first hard week: force–velocity profile, repeat-effort decrement, asymmetry, DXA and bloods. The block is written to the limiter they find.
Assessment week, then findings in week three
Load, monotony and strain read with asymmetry and sleep
The week-eight check before the fixtures start
Return to play
Criteria, not a calendar
Force symmetry, eccentric strength, landing quality and repeat-effort tolerance, against thresholds agreed in writing with your medical staff before rehabilitation starts. They make the call; the practice supplies the numbers.
Criteria agreed with your medical lead
The load rebuild modelled, not guessed
A handover pack for physio and club doctor
Selection, championship and weight classes
The weeks that decide it.
Your coach and medical staff make each call; the practice supplies the numbers.
If your sport has weight classes, bring the class and the weigh-in date to the first call. The plan works back from that date over weeks and is checked with your physician.

Training-load calculator
Seven days of load in, four numbers out
Weekly load, the acute:chronic ratio, monotony and strain: they describe a week, not predict an injury. Enter seven days of session load to see how these descriptive values are calculated.
The measurements stay consistent; each phase has a different training and nutrition goal.
01
Off-season
A controlled surplus and progressive training, with DXA at both ends of the block.
02
Prep
Length depends on your starting point, target and health. Energy intake, metabolic rate, recovery and sleep guide the pace; hormonal results are interpreted by your physician.
03
Reverse
Restore energy intake and recovery after prep, with markers reviewed before the next build.
Physique preparation around the shoot, campaign or runway date.
Nutrition, training, on-set activation and travel planning.
On location, where agreed in the engagement: pre-shoot activation, meal and sleep scheduling against the call sheet, recovery between setups, and liaison with stunt, costume and unit medical where required. Travel and accommodation are billed at cost. See a sample on-set card.
Bring your dates (the shoot, the campaign or the show) and any recent tests.
The measured plan that readies your body for the next job is also built for the decades ahead. The longevity practice.
Nothing is dehydrated for a stage, a scale or a lens. That is one of the lines a prep never crosses, on the Bodybuilding page.
Actor and model coaching: detail and planner
The role-preparation timeline
Backwards from thefirst scene.
A preparation timeline built around principal photography, fittings or runway calls.
First
The date
The shoot, the campaign or the show: the preparation is planned around it.
Then
The assessment
DXA, bloods, the hormonal picture and a movement screen in the first fortnight, coordinated near you.
Blocks
Build, then reveal
Build and reveal are adjusted to your role, progress and recovery, with blood results reviewed.
Peak week
Planned for the scene
Composition and glycogen, not water and salt, planned around the scene, the fitting or the runway call.
If more shooting follows
Hold
If reshoots or pick-ups may follow, say so at the start. The plan is built to hold rather than to peak, and the next date is planned from where you are, not from the start.
Reshoots and pick-ups are further days of shooting after principal photography.
After
The reverse
Planned before the shoot, not improvised after it; it reviews recovery before the next phase.
Beyond one shoot
Long runs, close dates and targets.
Long series or stage run
Planned to hold
A long series or a stage run is planned in twelve-week blocks with a review at the end of each.
Lead time
A straight answer when it is close
Under six weeks, the date planner shows what is realistic instead of a full block. It cannot decide whether your goal is achievable by then; the assessment does.
Bring agency targets to the first call. They are checked against your measurements and physician’s advice; unsafe targets are refused in writing. How external targets are reviewed.
A sample, fictional
One page for the set.
A fictional example of the page a client’s team can keep on a shoot day. It names no client and no production.
Sample · fictional · no real client
On-set card
One page for a client’s team on a shoot day.
Client
A fictional client. No real person.
Production
A fictional production. No real title.
Before call time
Pre-shoot activation.
Through the day
Meal and sleep scheduling against the call sheet. Recovery between setups.
Where required
Liaison with stunt, costume and unit medical.
On the day
Changes to the call sheet reach EVOX by message. Questions that cannot wait are answered by message during practice hours or as agreed in writing beforehand.
In a medical emergency
Local emergency services first, and the unit medic if there is one on set. Do not wait for a reply from EVOX.
Practice hours
IST (UTC+5:30), 09:00–19:00.
Turnaround
The rest between wrap and the next call. Sleep is scheduled against the call sheet to protect it.
Coaching and measurement only. Your physician decides.
Optional tools: shoot dates and travel

The date, and the flight.
Two planners for the two things a production fixes for you: the shoot date and the time zone.

Introducing a client to EVOX
What EVOX does, what the free call is, and what happens next.
What EVOX does
EVOX Longevity coaches training, nutrition, sleep and recovery, guided by measurement. Sainath Nanduri is the one point of contact. Anything clinical stays with the client’s physician.
The free call
Twenty minutes, free, on video: goals, history, what has failed before, and an honest answer on fit. It is with the client or whoever represents them.
Writing first
An introducer can write first, and can take the free call, without naming the client. EVOX explains how the work runs and answers questions about the process. EVOX does not ask for the client’s name or health details, and does not confirm who is or is not a client.
What happens next
The next step is the client’s: they apply in their own words. Client names and health information follow the mutual confidentiality agreement.
Confidentiality
Mutual, indefinite and signed before any assessment.
What an agent sees
Only what the client instructs in writing, each time. Health information is shared only on that instruction.
A paragraph to forward

I can take it first without naming you: EVOX explains how the work runs and answers questions about the process, and does not ask for your name or health details. If you want to go further, you apply in your own words. Confidentiality is mutual, indefinite and signed before any assessment. More at evoxlongevity.com.
For physicians and physiotherapists
A short note on scope, reports and referral.
What a physician or physiotherapist receives from EVOX, and what EVOX never does.
EVOX Longevity · for physicians and physiotherapists
Scope, reports and referral
What a clinician receives, and where EVOX stops.
Scope
Coaching, measurement, explanation of results and education, beside a physician’s care rather than in place of it. The clinical interpretation of laboratory values remains the physician’s.
What EVOX never does
EVOX does not diagnose, prescribe or treat. It does not prescribe, recommend or source peptides, hormones or any prescription compound, for any client.
What you receive
Reports written for a physician or a physiotherapist, shared at the client’s written instruction, each with its reasoning. Bloods are flagged to you, never interpreted around you. A model does not displace clinical authority.
How EVOX refers
Where a finding needs a clinician, the client is told clearly and referred in writing, the same day, to a named professional.
Writing first
A physiotherapist or doctor can write first, without naming the client, on the form above.
The four areas the longevity work follows: Heart & circulation; Strength & structure; Metabolism & blood; Sleep, stress & mind. Measured once a year, watched all year.
Heart-rate variability: beat-to-beat variation in heart rhythm, read each morning as a trend against your own baseline; an input to the readiness score.
The first section of WADA’s Prohibited List: any pharmacological substance with no current approval from a government health authority for human use is prohibited at all times, named or not.
The section of WADA’s Prohibited List covering blood doping: transfusions, red-blood-cell products and artificially raising oxygen uptake, transport or delivery.
The performance half of the assessment: Speed; Strength & power; Endurance; Body composition; Recovery; Mobility & resilience. Each measured and trainable; any one can be the limiter.
An athlete is responsible for prohibited substances found in their sample, regardless of intent. Supplement certification cannot remove all contamination risk.
The energy left for normal function after training: intake minus exercise expenditure, per kilogram of lean mass. Too low for too long costs hormones, bone, immunity and performance.
Substances WADA watches without prohibiting them: caffeine in competition and the GLP-1 medicines semaglutide and tirzepatide, among others. Monitored is not banned.
