About this test

An essential profile for anyone wanting to check their fitness - either before starting a programme, or to monitor progress during one.

Full blood count, liver, kidneys, cholesterol, iron status, ferritin, CRP, vitamins D & B12, and testosterone are all analysed to identify if there is anything likely to stop your from being your best.

Due to the number of biomarkers this test needs a phlebotomy sample.

What can I expect from Sports Fitness Profile?

If you want to know what your blood can tell you about your fitness - either before starting a programme, or to monitor progress during one., this is the profile for you.

It includes all the essential biomarkers that are of interest to a sports person - a Full Blood Count, Liver & Kidney function profile, Iron levels, Ferritin, Heart & Muscle Enzymes, Cholesterol profile, Inflammation, Magnesium, Vitamin D , Vitamin B12 and Testosterone.

We are able to monitor and track these results over time to see how well your body is functioning in response to your exercise regime and flag up anything that may need to be looked at.

Due to the size of this profile and the inclusion of a full blood count we need a phlebotomy sample which you can give at any one of our 100+ locations around the UK.
