Endurance Check
$340 SGD
Optimising blood work is an important step in achieving athletic performance as it can provide valuable information about the body's nutrient levels, hormone levels, and overall health. This simple blood test can help you understand key biomarkers so you can reach your peak faster.
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. This panel includes a cortisol test.
Our Endurance Check measures key drivers of performance including your metabolic hormone function (including a cortisol test), 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
Male Hormone Profile
This male hormone test measures key hormones that play an important role in fertility and athletic performance.
This hormone test measures:
PSA
This PSA test screens for prostate specific antigen (PSA), a protein which is released into the blood by the prostate gland.
Thyroid Function
Free T4 (FT4) is a key thyroid hormone that helps regulate your body’s metabolism, energy production, mood, and overall wellbeing. Measuring FT4 provides valuable insight into thyroid health, particularly when assessing for underactive or overactive thyroid function. Detecting imbalances early can help prevent complications such as fatigue, weight changes, fertility concerns, and mood disturbances - even before symptoms become noticeable.
Insulin Resistance Index
Insulin resistance is a condition where cells fail to respond to the normal actions of insulin which is produced by the pancreas. When the body produces insulin under conditions of insulin resistance, the cells in the body are resistant to the insulin and are unable to use it as effectively. This can lead to high blood sugar and pancreatic dysfunction.
B12 & Folate
Ferritin (Iron Stores)
This ferritin test is a measure of how much iron you have stored in your body. Low ferritin can be a sign of anaemia caused by iron deficiency. This test can also be used to investigate iron overload syndrome (haemochromatosis) which is an inherited condition where your body cannot remove excess iron.
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.
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:
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
A blood test is used to find out the level of waste products in your blood and calculate what’s called your estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).
This kidney function blood and urine test measures:
Urine Examination
A urine test is used to check for protein or blood in your urine, as well as to check for any signs of infection. Protein in your urine may mean that your kidneys are not filtering your blood well enough, and blood in the urine can be a sign of kidney disease.
This kidney function test measures:
