Fitness Blood Test — Sport & Lifestyle Panel

A sport-optimised comprehensive blood panel designed to assess training readiness, nutritional sufficiency, and recovery capacity for active individuals. Available in male (2,890 Kč) and female (2,990 Kč) versions through cz.unilabs.online, collected at any of 136 Czech collection points. The male panel covers CBC, blood type, testosterone (total), estradiol, homocysteine, glucose, insulin, CRP, cholesterol, lipid panel, triglycerides, Vitamins D/B12/B9, calcium, sodium, magnesium, and iron metabolism. Overtraining syndrome, iron-deficiency anaemia, vitamin D insufficiency, and subclinical hormonal suppression from high training loads are all detectable through this profile. Results in 3 business days.

The Unilabs Fitness blood panel fills the gap between the general preventive panel and the specialised sports medicine panel typically accessible only through private sports physicians. It addresses the specific physiological demands of regular training: the increased requirements for oxygen-carrying capacity, accelerated micronutrient turnover from high metabolic rate, the hormonal adaptations (and maladaptations) to training load, and the recovery-limiting deficiencies that reduce training gains without obvious symptoms. Iron-deficiency anaemia is the most common nutritional deficiency in endurance athletes, particularly women, and is detectable at the subclinical stage through ferritin (iron stores) before haemoglobin drops. Vitamin D is included because of its dual role in musculoskeletal performance: low vitamin D impairs muscle protein synthesis and increases injury risk. Magnesium is consumed in large quantities during exercise (lost in sweat and urine, used in ATP synthesis and muscle contraction). Hormone markers serve a specific purpose: testosterone in male athletes falls under conditions of overtraining, energy restriction (RED-S), and excessive cortisol elevation. In female athletes, estradiol suppression accompanies hypothalamic amenorrhoea, a common consequence of high training loads with inadequate energy availability. The male Fitness panel uniquely includes blood type (ABO + Rh) alongside the comprehensive metabolic screen — a practical addition for athletes who may need to know their blood type for travel or competition medical purposes.
