Inflammation
8 markers in this category
ASTO (Antistreptolysin O)
ASO levels help identify streptococcal infections that could lead to joint inflammation and affect training. Early detection supports faster return to performance.
CRP (C-Reactive Protein)
Your CRP value tells you how large an inflammatory response is running in your body right now.
ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate)
Your ESR value tells you how quickly your red blood cells settle towards the bottom of an upright tube, read after one hour in millimetres per hour.
Homocysteine
Elevated homocysteine may increase cardiovascular risk, which is relevant for active individuals pushing their bodies. Monitoring supports heart health alongside performance optimisation.
Interleukin-6 (IL-6)
IL-6 is a key marker for exercise-induced inflammation and recovery. Active individuals can use it to monitor training load, detect overtraining, and optimise recovery protocols.
SAA (Serum Amyloid A)
SAA responds rapidly to inflammation and can help distinguish training-induced inflammation from infection. This supports smarter recovery decisions for active individuals.
TNF Alpha
TNF-α can indicate whether inflammation is related to training stress or systemic issues. Monitoring supports informed decisions about training load and recovery.
hs-CRP (High Sensitivity CRP)
hs-CRP helps active individuals monitor cardiovascular inflammation beyond training stress. Keeping chronic inflammation low supports long-term heart health alongside peak performance.
