Cardiovascular
16 markers in this category
ApoA1 (Apolipoprotein A1)
ApoA1 reflects HDL function, which supports cholesterol clearance during the metabolic demands of intense training. A key marker for active individuals monitoring cardiovascular health.
ApoB (Apolipoprotein B)
ApoB provides the most accurate atherogenic particle count for active individuals concerned about long-term cardiovascular health alongside performance.
CK-MB
CK-MB helps distinguish heart-related enzyme elevations from skeletal muscle damage during intense training. It supports cardiovascular safety monitoring for active individuals.
Cholesterol/HDL Ratio
The cholesterol/HDL ratio is your total cholesterol divided by your HDL. Exercise tends to raise HDL, which lowers the ratio.
HDL Cholesterol
Your HDL cholesterol tells you how much cholesterol is circulating in the particles that carry it back to your liver, and for an athlete it is one of the few blood values that training genuinely moves.
LDL Cholesterol
LDL cholesterol is the cholesterol your blood carries from your liver to the rest of your body.
LDL/HDL Ratio
The LDL/HDL ratio tells you how your LDL cholesterol relates to your HDL cholesterol: it is one number divided by the other, and it is probably the weakest number on your entire lipid report.
Lipoprotein(a)
Your Lp(a) tells you how much of one inherited fat particle is circulating in your blood, and with it how large a cardiovascular risk you carry that training cannot change.
NT-proBNP
NT-proBNP can rise after intense endurance exercise. For active individuals, monitoring helps distinguish normal training responses from clinically significant cardiac stress.
Non-HDL Cholesterol
Your non-HDL cholesterol tells you how much cholesterol is circulating in every particle that can lodge in an artery wall, and of all the lipid numbers it is the one least distorted by your own week.
Omega 3 + 6
The omega-3/omega-6 ratio affects inflammation and recovery. Active individuals can use this marker to optimise anti-inflammatory nutrition for faster recovery and joint protection.
Omega-3 Index
An omega-3 test measures your Omega-3 Index in your red blood cells. That index is the share of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA.
Oxidized LDL
oxLDL reflects oxidative stress on lipoproteins. Active individuals benefit from monitoring this as intense training increases oxidative load on the cardiovascular system.
Total Cholesterol
Total cholesterol is a starting point for lipid assessment. Active individuals should look at the full panel including HDL, LDL, and triglycerides for complete cardiovascular insight.
Triglycerides
Triglycerides are used as fuel during exercise. Monitoring helps active individuals understand fat metabolism efficiency and metabolic health alongside performance.
Troponin T (Cardiac)
Troponin T can rise transiently after intense endurance exercise. Active individuals should be aware of this marker to distinguish training effects from cardiac concerns.
