A 40-biomarker expanded athletic panel covering hormones, liver and kidney function, lipid profile, glucose, and inflammatory markers. Provides a more detailed performance picture for athletes with specific concerns about recovery, energy, or metabolic health.
The Sports Extended builds on the basic athletic panel with additional markers that provide deeper insight into metabolic efficiency and recovery capacity. The expanded lipid panel assesses cardiovascular health more thoroughly — important for endurance athletes whose hearts work at high outputs, and for strength athletes whose dietary patterns may elevate lipid markers. Glucose metabolism markers help identify whether fuelling strategies are adequate for training demands. Athletes who train fasted or on low-carbohydrate diets may show markers of impaired glucose regulation that affect performance and recovery. The extended inflammatory panel provides a more nuanced view of exercise-induced inflammation versus chronic low-grade inflammation. While acute inflammation following training is a normal part of adaptation, persistent elevation indicates that recovery is inadequate or that an underlying health issue needs attention. At 40 biomarkers, this panel provides the comprehensive data that sports medicine practitioners and performance nutritionists need to build evidence-based training and nutrition protocols.
