Sports Performance Profile

Three reasons the Sports Performance Profile is right for you

• This profile provides a comprehensive overview of your blood, nutrient, and metabolic status to support optimal athletic performance

• It identifies deficiencies or imbalances that could affect energy, recovery, endurance, and overall wellbeing

• Allows tailored nutrition, supplementation, and lifestyle strategies to maximise performance and reduce the risk of injury or fatigue

Why check your health with a Sports Performance Profile?

Whether you are a recreational athlete or a competitive performer, understanding your body’s current state is essential for achieving peak results. This profile combines blood counts, metabolic markers, vitamins, minerals, and fats to give a complete picture of your physical condition.

Monitoring these markers can help detect hidden deficiencies, inflammation, or metabolic issues before they affect performance or recovery.

• Optimises energy production and stamina

• Supports muscle function, recovery, and endurance

• Helps manage inflammation and cardiovascular health

What symptoms or issues might indicate imbalances?

Even subtle deficiencies or metabolic issues can impact performance. You may notice:

• Persistent fatigue or low energy during training

• Slower recovery after workouts or competitions

• Muscle weakness or cramping

• Poor concentration or mental fatigue

• Increased susceptibility to injury or illness

• Signs of inflammation, such as joint pain or prolonged soreness

How does the Sports Performance Profile work?

This comprehensive blood test includes multiple assessments to evaluate your health and performance potential:

• Full Blood Count (FBC) – evaluates red and white blood cells, and haemoglobin levels

• ESR – a measure of general inflammation

• Biochemistry Profile – assesses organ function and metabolic status

• HDL/LDL Cholesterol (Calculated) – measures healthy and harmful cholesterol levels

• Ferritin – indicates iron storage and energy potential

• C Reactive Protein (CRP) – a marker of inflammation

• Omega 3 / Omega 6 – balance of essential fatty acids for cardiovascular and joint health

• Mineral Screen – key minerals for muscle, nerve, and metabolic function

• Vitamin B9 (Folic acid) – Red cell measurement

• Vitamin B12 (Active form) – supports energy and neurological function

The combination of these tests gives a detailed view of your nutritional, inflammatory, and metabolic status, allowing for a personalised plan to improve performance and recovery.

What can I expect at my appointment?

Your appointment involves a standard blood draw performed by a trained healthcare professional. The procedure is quick and minimally invasive.

No special preparation is required, unless advised otherwise by your clinician. After the analysis, you will receive a comprehensive report detailing your results with personalised recommendations to optimise your athletic performance.

Are there any risks with this test?

This is a routine blood test and is considered very safe. Most people only feel minor discomfort at the needle site.

Occasionally, minor bruising, tenderness, or light-headedness may occur. Serious complications are extremely rare. Seek medical advice if you feel unwell after the test.
