Frequently asked questions

This is what our customers ask us about the most. For more information, try our help centre.

What is a sports blood test, and how is it different from a regular blood test?

Sports blood tests are tailored for active individuals, measuring key biomarkers linked to performance, recovery, and overall physical health. Our sports blood tests focus on areas like energy metabolism, muscle health, hormones, and inflammation – all critical for athletic performance.

How can a blood test help improve my performance or recovery?

By identifying imbalances or deficiencies early, you can take targeted action – whether it’s adjusting your training load, improving nutrition, or supporting recovery. It removes the guesswork and gives you objective insights to train smarter, not just harder.

Which sports blood test is right for me?

We offer sports blood tests tailored to your biological sex, as male and female bodies respond differently to training stress.

Choosing the right test ensures you’re getting insights relevant to your physiology, so you can train smarter, recover better, and avoid hormone-related performance dips.

Can these tests detect signs of overtraining or fatigue?

Yes – markers such as cortisol, testosterone, hs-CRP (inflammation), and key nutrients like ferritin and vitamin B12 can help indicate if your body is under stress or struggling to recover effectively.

What biomarkers are included in the sports blood tests?

Our sports tests measure a targeted set of biomarkers that play a crucial role in athletic performance, recovery, and overall health. These include:

  • Energy & Oxygen Delivery: Haemoglobin, Red Blood Cell Count (RBC), Vitamin B12, Ferritin (iron stores), and Albumin
  • Inflammation & Recovery: hs-CRP (C-reactive protein), White Blood Cell Count (WBC)
  • Hormonal Health: Testosterone (Total), Free Testosterone, Free Androgen Index, Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin (SHBG)
  • Female Hormones: Oestradiol (Oestrogen), Progesterone, Luteinising Hormone (LH), Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Prolactin
  • Vitamin & Mineral Status: Vitamin D (25 OH), Active B12

Each marker is selected to give you insight into how your body is responding to training, where improvements can be made, and whether you’re at risk of nutrient deficiencies, hormonal imbalances or poor recovery.

Will these tests show if I’m low in essential nutrients like iron or vitamin D?

Absolutely. Nutrient deficiencies can have a big impact on energy levels, endurance, and recovery. Each test outlines exactly which nutrients are checked.

Can I track my hormone levels with these tests?

Yes. Our sports tests include key hormones that influence performance, recovery, and overall energy levels.

For men, we measure total testosterone, free testosterone, and the Free Androgen Index, providing insight into strength, muscle development, and fatigue.

For women, tests include oestradiol, progesterone, FSH, LH, and prolactin, which are essential for understanding how training may impact the menstrual cycle, recovery, and overall hormonal balance.

Monitoring these hormones helps ensure your body is adapting well to training and not under unnecessary stress.

What’s the benefit of tracking inflammation markers like CRP?

High levels of inflammation can point to overtraining, inadequate recovery, or even low-grade injury. Tracking hs-CRP helps you understand how well your body is coping with physical stress.

Can I monitor hydration or muscle damage with these tests?

Yes – several biomarkers in our tests give indirect insight into hydration status, muscle strain, and inflammation. For example:

  • Haemoglobin and Red Blood Cell (RBC) count can reflect how well your body is delivering oxygen – which can be influenced by hydration and training load.
  • hs-CRP is a key marker of inflammation, often elevated after intense training or if recovery is insufficient.
  • White Blood Cell Count (WBC) can also respond to physical stress, overtraining, or immune suppression.

Are these tests suitable for both professional and amateur athletes?

Definitely. Whether you’re training for a marathon, weightlifting competitively, or just want to optimise your fitness, these tests are designed to support all levels of activity.

Do I need to be training at a certain level to benefit from these tests?

Not at all. Anyone who exercises regularly and wants to feel their best can benefit – especially if you’ve noticed low energy, slow recovery, or plateauing performance.

How often should I take a sports blood test?

We recommend testing every 3–6 months to monitor progress, especially if you’re adjusting training load or working towards a specific event. Regular blood testing builds a picture over time and helps fine-tune your approach.

Can I share my results with a coach, PT or nutritionist?

Yes – your results are presented clearly and can be downloaded or shared. Many customers use them to guide personalised training or nutrition plans with professionals.

How is the blood sample collected, and how quickly will I get results?

It’s a simple finger-prick test you can do at home. Once your sample reaches our lab, results are usually available within 2 working days, accessed securely via your online dashboard.

Will I get help understanding my results?

Yes – all results come with personalised, doctor-reviewed insights, and you’ll see clear guidance on what’s optimal, what’s not, and what actions you can take next.

Is the packaging discreet?

Yes – all of our test kits are delivered in plain, unbranded packaging. There’s no mention of the contents or our company name on the outside, so you can feel confident ordering to your home, workplace, or anywhere else.

How is my data kept private?

Your privacy is our priority. All personal health data is stored securely and encrypted in line with GDPR and medical data protection standards. Only you (and any health professionals you choose to share your results with) have access to your data. We will never share or sell your information to third parties.
