About this Endurance Blood Test

This Endurance blood test looks at all of the most important blood results to ensure you are performing at your best in endurance-related sports.

It is perfect for cyclists, runners, rowers, rugby players and CrossFit athletes.

Testosterone levels are important for recovery, aggression and muscle building. Testosterone is also key for red blood cell production which improves the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood.

Red blood cells are important for endurance exercise as they carry oxygen around the body and to the tissues. Haematocrit and haemoglobin measure your blood’s ability to effectively carry oxygen around the body which is extremely important for endurance exercise and is routinely monitored by top-level cycling and endurance athletes.

Low vitamin D and B12 levels can affect your performance and recovery from workouts as well as energy levels and general health.

This test also measures muscle damage and inflammation to review if you are recovering from workouts effectively.

Total testosterone is an indicator of the total amount of testosterone in the blood.

If low it can cause symptoms of testosterone deficiency such as low libido, reduced muscle mass and strength, and low mood.

Free testosterone is a calculated value that indicates the amount of testosterone free to be used by the cells in the body. In some cases, total testosterone can be normal whilst free testosterone is low. A man with low free testosterone will experience the same symptoms as someone with low total testosterone.

This is normally because there are higher levels of hormones such as SHBG (sex binding hormone globulin) which binds to testosterone preventing it from being used by the body.

Haemoglobin and haematocrit provide an accurate indication of your blood’s oxygen-carrying ability.
