Cardiovascular
13 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 athletes monitoring cardiovascular health.
ApoB (Apolipoprotein B)
ApoB provides the most accurate atherogenic particle count for athletes 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 athletes.
HDL Cholesterol
HDL cholesterol supports arterial health, which is essential for sustained cardiovascular performance. Regular exercise is one of the best ways to optimise HDL levels.
LDL Cholesterol
LDL cholesterol management is important for athletes who want to protect their cardiovascular system for long-term performance. Exercise can favourably influence LDL particle composition.
Lipoprotein(a)
Lp(a) is a genetic cardiovascular risk factor that every athlete should know about. Understanding your inherent risk helps you make informed decisions about long-term cardiovascular health.
NT-proBNP
NT-proBNP can rise after intense endurance exercise. For athletes, monitoring helps distinguish normal training responses from clinically significant cardiac stress.
Omega 3 + 6
The omega-3/omega-6 ratio affects inflammation and recovery. Athletes can use this marker to optimise anti-inflammatory nutrition for faster recovery and joint protection.
Omega-3 Index
The Omega-3 Index provides a long-term view of omega-3 status, which affects inflammation, recovery, and cardiovascular health for athletes. A key marker for performance nutrition.
Oxidized LDL
oxLDL reflects oxidative stress on lipoproteins. Athletes 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. Athletes 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 athletes understand fat metabolism efficiency and metabolic health alongside performance.
Troponin T (Cardiac)
Troponin T can rise transiently after intense endurance exercise. Athletes should be aware of this marker to distinguish training effects from cardiac concerns.
