Active Sportswomen &
Performance Panel
For women training at volume — and the markers of your training impact on your body
Designed for women who train regularly or lead a highly active lifestyle, this panel looks at markers relevant to physical performance, recovery, muscle health, and hormonal balance, alongside cardiovascular and metabolic markers.
Particular attention is given to markers commonly affected by high training loads in women, including iron status, bone health markers, key vitamins (such as vitamin D and B12), and menstrual cycle-related hormonal balance, recognising the impact these can have on energy availability, recovery, and long-term performance.
It is intended to help identify any deficiencies or imbalances that may be affecting performance, recovery, or menstrual health, and to support training and recovery decisions with objective, evidence-based data.

The Practicalities

To Note…
If your periods have become irregular or stopped
This is worth raising with us directly, and worth taking seriously. In women training at volume it can indicate that energy intake is not meeting energy demand - a recognised clinical picture with consequences for bone density and long-term health. It is not a sign of being fit, and it is treatable. Our medical team and dietitian will approach it as a health matter, not a performance one.
