About FIT Activity Triage & methodology

How FIT Activity Triage works, which inputs it supports, what its results mean and where its limits apply.

FIT Activity Triage

A local triage desk for damaged or awkward FIT activity files. Read the real binary message stream, preserve complete native and developer bytes, and separate checksum repair from missing-data recovery.

How we build a check

This workbench processes supported inputs locally. We test calculations, file structure and generated artifacts using independent readers or known fixtures where available. The example runs the same processing path as a supplied input; it does not stand in for checking your own result.

Editorial responsibility

KitForma maintains this tool and its guides. The source notes on the tool page link to the supporting documentation. We do not claim affiliation with the referenced hardware manufacturers or platforms. Review date: 2026-10-19.

CSV projects documented standard sensor fields; GPX keeps valid timed coordinates and elevation only. No developer-field decoding, summary regeneration or guaranteed platform import. If a specification changes or a result appears incorrect, send the relevant source URL and a non-sensitive reproduction to kitforma@outlook.com.
