Physical Performance — Men's Health Panel

Comprehensive physical performance assessment for men covering cardiovascular fitness, muscular strength and endurance, metabolic rate, and male hormonal biomarkers — with personalised coaching to optimise strength, longevity, and vitality.

The Physical Performance programme at Chi Longevity is a rigorous, data-driven health assessment tailored for men seeking to understand and optimise the physiological systems that underpin strength, endurance, recovery, and long-term vitality. It examines the cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and metabolic foundations of physical health through validated clinical testing, complemented by male hormonal profiling to reveal hormonal drivers of performance, body composition, and energy. The cardiovascular assessment includes VO2 max estimation, cardiac output analysis, resting and exercise heart rate variability (HRV), and blood pressure response — providing a comprehensive picture of aerobic capacity and cardiovascular reserve. Muscular assessments cover grip strength (a validated proxy for overall musculoskeletal health and mortality risk), functional movement quality, and muscle mass distribution via body composition analysis. Metabolic testing measures resting metabolic rate (RMR) directly — not estimated from standard equations — revealing the individual's true baseline energy expenditure and the balance between fat and carbohydrate oxidation at rest. This data directly informs caloric targets, macronutrient ratios, and exercise prescription. The hormonal panel focuses on key male health biomarkers: total and free testosterone (critical for muscle synthesis, libido, cognition, and bone density), SHBG, LH, FSH, oestradiol, cortisol, DHEA-S, insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), and thyroid hormones. Together these provide a full-spectrum picture of male hormonal status and identify deficiencies or imbalances that may be limiting performance or accelerating biological ageing. All findings are reviewed by a Chi Longevity physician with personalised coaching recommendations covering training programme design (including resistance and cardiovascular training periodisation), nutritional strategy, sleep optimisation for recovery, and targeted supplementation — grounded in the individual's actual physiological data rather than generic male health guidance.
