Description
When representing strength-based exercises, there's typically a need to capture 3 things:
- what type of exercise - e.g. lateral press (Observation.code)
- what part of body - e.g. left leg (Observation.bodySite)
- how much weight/resistance
- how many reps
The weight and reps really need to be captured as part of a single Observation because knowing reps without weight or weight without reps doesn't buy you much.
We need to define a structure that defines how to use components to manage this and to nail down which is value and which is component, or whether we have two components. We also need to define the standard codes for the components to be used. Should seek OO feedback on these questions, so assigning it there first.
