Sports performance blood testing
Why is knowledge of key blood markers in Sport important?
- Blood analysis is increasingly being considered essential for the keen amateur and not just the professional sportsman or sportswoman.
- There is now recognised a wide range of substances ‘at risk’ of deficiency in athletes.
- Nutrients and Hormones are under the spotlight and recognised all too frequently to be at unhealthily low levels.
‘Why bother testing. I’m only a keen amateur’?
- Well.. many spend £££ on new bikes, shoes, watches, clothing, membership fees.. but not health checks?.
- Monitors can measure HR, VO2 max, Lactate Threshold, FTP. Great for gauging improvement or deterioration but...
- How many actually consider objective testing of the body itself?
Well, the good news is that for less the cost of a Rubino tyre or a nice pair of Nikes you can discover the essential information you need to optimise your performance!
