Overview of the Sports Performance Profile
The Sports Performance Blood Test is a targeted private health screening designed to support individuals who are focused on fitness, training outcomes, recovery and overall athletic wellbeing. It provides insight into key physiological systems that may influence energy levels, endurance, strength, recovery and hormonal balance.
This panel includes 25 biomarkers and laboratory assessments, covering cardiovascular health, metabolic function, thyroid activity, inflammation, nutrient status, muscle recovery and hormone balance. It is designed to provide a practical overview of performance-related health markers in a single test.
As with all laboratory testing, results should be interpreted in context alongside training load, symptoms, medical history, nutrition, hydration, lifestyle factors and professional clinical or sports science advice where appropriate.
What Does the Sports Performance Profile Contain?
This Sports Performance Profile provides a comprehensive assessment of the key biomarkers involved in athletic performance, recovery, cardiovascular health, hormone balance, nutritional status and overall wellbeing. It is designed for athletes and active individuals who want to optimise training, monitor recovery and identify factors that may affect performance.
Full Blood Count (FBC) - Provides an overview of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets to help assess oxygen transport, recovery and overall health.
Urea - A marker of protein metabolism and kidney function.
Creatinine - A key marker used to assess kidney function and muscle metabolism.
eGFR - Estimates how efficiently your kidneys filter waste from the blood.
Sodium - An essential electrolyte involved in fluid balance.
Potassium - Important for muscle contraction and nerve function.
Chloride - Helps maintain fluid and acid-base balance.
Bicarbonate - Helps assess the body's acid-base balance and metabolic function.
Phosphate - Important for energy production, bone health and muscle function.
Total Protein - Measures overall protein levels in the blood.
Albumin - A major protein important for transport functions and recovery.
Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) - An enzyme linked to liver and bone health.
Bilirubin - A marker of liver function and red blood cell breakdown.
ALT - A liver enzyme associated with liver cell integrity.
AST - A liver and muscle-related enzyme.
Gamma GT (GGT) - A marker associated with liver and biliary function.
Total Cholesterol - Measures overall cholesterol levels.
Triglycerides - A marker of fat metabolism and energy storage.
HDL Cholesterol - Often referred to as "good cholesterol".
LDL Cholesterol - Often referred to as "bad cholesterol".
Cholesterol Ratio - A ratio used in cardiovascular risk assessment.
Non-HDL Cholesterol - Measures cholesterol associated with cardiovascular risk.
Apolipoprotein A (ApoA) - A key protein associated with HDL function.
Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) - A protein associated with atherogenic lipoproteins.
Glucose - Measures blood sugar levels at the time of testing.
HbA1c - Reflects average blood glucose over the previous 2–3 months.
TSH - Regulates thyroid hormone production.
Free T4 - Measures circulating thyroxine hormone.
Free T3 - Measures the active thyroid hormone.
Total Testosterone - The primary hormone involved in muscle development, recovery and performance.
Free Testosterone - Represents the biologically active testosterone available to the body's tissues.
Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) - A protein that binds sex hormones and influences hormone availability.
Free Androgen Index (FAI) - A calculated marker of biologically available testosterone.
Luteinising Hormone (LH) - Regulates testosterone production and reproductive hormone function.
Cortisol - The body's primary stress hormone involved in metabolism and recovery.
DHEA-S - An adrenal hormone involved in energy production and hormone synthesis.
Iron - Measures circulating iron levels.
Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC) - Measures the blood's capacity to bind and transport iron.
Transferrin - The main protein responsible for transporting iron throughout the body.
Transferrin Saturation - Indicates the percentage of transferrin carrying iron.
Ferritin - Reflects the body's stored iron levels.
Vitamin D (25-OH) - Important for muscle strength, bone health and immune function.
Vitamin B12 - Essential for energy production and red blood cell formation.
Folate (Vitamin B9) - Supports DNA synthesis and healthy red blood cell production.
Magnesium - Supports muscle contraction, nerve function and energy production.
Calcium - Essential for healthy bones, muscle contraction and nerve function.
Phosphate - Important for bone health, muscle function and cellular energy production.
Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) - Regulates calcium and phosphate balance to support healthy bones.
Creatine Kinase (CK) - A marker of muscle stress and recovery following exercise.
High-sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hsCRP) - A highly sensitive marker of inflammation associated with training load and overall health.
The Sports Performance Profile combines key biomarkers related to fitness, recovery, cardiovascular health, hormone balance and nutrition, providing valuable insights to support athletic performance and long-term wellbeing. Results should always be interpreted alongside your symptoms, training programme and clinical assessment by a qualified healthcare professional.
Who May Benefit From the Sports Performance Test ?
This test may be suitable for people who want to:
Gaining insight into the factors affecting endurance and strength can help inform more effective and targeted training decisions. This panel assesses key performance markers to support a structured and evidence-based approach to athletic development.
Tracking muscle stress, inflammation and hormonal balance is essential for understanding how well the body is recovering between sessions. This test provides a detailed overview of recovery markers to help prevent burnout and support consistent progress.
Optimising nutrition and physiological readiness is key to getting the most out of a structured training programme. This panel identifies any nutritional or hormonal imbalances that may be limiting performance or hindering progress.
Reviewing lipid and inflammation profiles provides a clearer picture of cardiovascular health and associated risk factors. Maintaining healthy cardiovascular markers is essential for both athletic performance and long-term wellbeing.
Checking testosterone, cortisol and related hormones helps to understand how hormonal status may be influencing energy, recovery and overall performance. Imbalances in these markers can have a significant impact on training outcomes and physical condition.
Assessing vitamins, minerals and iron status can highlight deficiencies that may be affecting energy, endurance and recovery. Addressing these gaps through diet or supplementation can make a meaningful difference to overall athletic performance.
Reviewing glucose and long-term blood sugar control helps to assess how efficiently the body is converting fuel into energy during training. Optimising metabolic function supports sustained energy levels and improved performance throughout training sessions.
Understanding fatigue and recovery markers allows for early identification of signs that the body may be under excessive stress. This test helps ensure training loads remain appropriate and that recovery strategies are effectively supporting the body's needs.

When Will I Receive My Results?

Your results are sent securely by email once laboratory analysis is complete. Turnaround usually begins when the laboratory receives the sample, not necessarily when the sample is collected.
Specialist markers or unexpected laboratory delays may occasionally take longer. Results outside the expected range should be reviewed with a GP, specialist or suitably qualified clinician, particularly if you have symptoms or ongoing health concerns.
Understanding Your Results
Your results will usually be shown with laboratory reference ranges. These ranges can vary between laboratories, testing methods and patient factors.
A normal result does not always rule out a health issue. An abnormal result does not automatically confirm a diagnosis. This is especially important with hormone, thyroid, inflammation, iron and CEA results, which need careful clinical context.
Results should be interpreted alongside symptoms, medical history, age, sex, menstrual cycle timing, medication use, supplements and relevant clinical background. If you are concerned about your results, speak with a GP or suitably qualified clinician.
