Understand key biomarkers in your blood and their response to stress to avoid overtraining and reach your peak. The Endurance Check is our most comprehensive test which includes an assessment of your performance hormones including a cortisol test.

Optimise your biomarkers for peak performance

Understanding your body’s key biomarkers and their response to stress can safeguard you against overtraining syndrome and enable you to optimise your training regime.

As an endurance athlete, you can optimise your performance by analysing and fine tuning key metabolic markers. There are lots of conflicting viewpoints out there on what exactly you need to test and that’s why we’ve designed this panel of blood tests to keep things simple, insightful and actionable.

Our Endurance Check measures key drivers of performance including your metabolic hormone function, levels of inflammation in the body, muscle damage, oxygen carrying capacity and bone health. We also test the function of your body’s essential organs to ensure you’re building on a solid foundation.

What's included

Hormone Panel

No matter what your fitness goals are, one of the main determinants of whether you will reach them is your hormonal status. This hormone test measures the key hormones that must be in balance and play an important role in regulating sexual health, fertility and athletic performance.

This hormone test measures:

Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1)

IGF-1 is involved in a wide range of physiological processes, including bone growth, muscle growth and repair, and the development of the nervous system. It also helps regulate metabolism, including glucose metabolism and fat metabolism.

This IGF-1 test measures:

Adrenal Function

Cortisol and DHEA-S play important roles in regulating physiological processes in the body. Cortisol has a catabolic effect which mobilises the body’s nutritional resources for fuel. DHEA-S has an opposing anabolic effect and converts food into living tissue. In order to achieve your fitness goals cortisol and DHEA-S must be in proper balance.

Thyroid Function

Your thyroid gland produces hormones that regulate growth and energy expenditure. Thyroid disorders are quite common, and many people don’t have any symptoms at all. This thyroid test screens for the thyroid hormones that play a key role in regulating the body’s metabolism.

This thyroid test measures:

Bone Health

Calcium and vitamin D play a critical role in maintaining bone health. When you don’t get enough calcium, you increase your risk of developing osteoporosis and stress fractures. This blood test measures your total and corrected calcium levels, your vitamin D levels, and also checks for gout.

Iron Studies

Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional problem in Australia. It slows your body’s production of haemoglobin, which your red blood cells need to pick up oxygen from your lungs and carry it to every cell in your body. If you have a shortage of iron you experience symptoms of anaemia, which include feeling breathless after little exercise, feeling tired, heart palpitations and looking pale.

Cholesterol

Lipids and cholesterol are fat-like substances in your blood. Some are necessary for good health, but when you have a high level of cholesterol in your blood, a lot of it ends up being deposited in the walls of your arteries and other vital organs. Lifestyle choices including diet, exercise and alcohol intake can all influence cholesterol levels and your risk of developing heart disease.

This cholesterol test measures:

Metabolic Markers

Insulin resistance can lead to difficulty losing weight, distinct abdominal fat, fatigue, bloating and sugar cravings. Identifying insulin resistance early and committing to lifestyle changes can ultimately help the progression to diabetes.

Full blood count with differential

The full blood count is used as a broad screening test to check for such disorders as anaemia (decrease in red blood cells or haemoglobin), infection, and many other diseases. It is actually a group of tests that examine different parts of the blood. Results from the following tests provide the broadest picture of your health.

The full blood count measures:

Liver Function (LFTs)

Your liver processes drugs and alcohol, filters toxic chemicals, stores vitamins and minerals, and makes bile, proteins and enzymes. This liver function test examines enzymes and other markers for evidence of damage to your liver cells or a blockage near your liver which can impair its function.

This liver function test measures:

Kidney Function

Your kidneys filter waste from your body and regulate salts in your blood. They also produce hormones and vitamins that direct cell activities in many organs and help to control blood pressure. When the kidneys aren't working properly, waste products and fluid can build up to dangerous levels creating a life-threatening situation.

This kidney function test measures:

Inflammation

The link between low-grade inflammation and chronic disease is widely recognised. Research indicates that following an anti-inflammatory diet may help fight off inflammation.

This blood test measures:

B Vitamins & Methylation

Vitamin B12 and folate are essential for healthy methylation, a process your body uses for detoxification, energy, and gene regulation. Low B12 can lead to a buildup of homocysteine, which may affect heart, brain, and overall cellular health.

PSA

This PSA test screens for prostate specific antigen (PSA), a protein which is released into the blood by the prostate gland.

Test instructions

Visit the collection centre within one hour of waking for the most accurate hormone test measurements.

Fast from all food and drink (other than water) for at least 8 hours, and no more than 12 hours prior to your test.

Refrain from strenuous exercise for 2 days before your blood test as this can affect the results.

Take your form to one of our affiliated collection centres to have your sample taken.
