Testosterone
Testosterone is the principal anabolic hormone responsible for promoting muscle mass, strength, libido, and recovery. In men, it is primarily synthesised in the testes, while women produce smaller amounts in the ovaries and adrenal glands. Adequate testosterone levels are essential for maintaining lean body mass and athletic performance. Research from the University of Nottingham indicates that chronically low testosterone may impair training adaptations and is associated with decreased energy, mood disturbances, and reduced protein synthesis.

Free Testosterone
Free Testosterone refers to the fraction of testosterone that is not bound to proteins like SHBG or albumin, making it biologically active and available to target tissues. This measure is critical for athletes, as total testosterone may appear normal even when free testosterone is low. A low free testosterone level can lead to reduced strength gains, slower recovery, and impaired sexual function, particularly in the context of high training loads or overreaching.

Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG)
Sex Hormone Binding Globulin is a glycoprotein that binds to sex hormones, including testosterone and oestradiol, regulating their bioavailability. High SHBG levels can reduce the availability of free testosterone, even if total levels are within normal range. Conversely, low SHBG—often seen with high insulin, anabolic steroid use, or intense training—can increase the bioavailability of testosterone but may also be a marker of endocrine disturbance. Monitoring SHBG helps contextualise both free and total testosterone results for accurate interpretation.

Oestradiol
Oestradiol, the most active form of oestrogen, is produced through the aromatisation of testosterone. In men, elevated oestradiol may result from excessive testosterone supplementation or aromatase activity and can lead to gynecomastia, fluid retention, and impaired libido. In women, oestradiol is critical for regulating the menstrual cycle and maintaining bone density. Disruption of this balance—often seen in low body fat athletes—may impair performance, recovery, and reproductive health.

Prolactin
Prolactin is a hormone secreted by the pituitary gland that plays a role in reproductive function and stress adaptation. In men, elevated prolactin can suppress testosterone production, impact libido, and indicate pituitary dysfunction. It can also rise in response to certain medications or overtraining. In women, abnormal prolactin levels can disrupt ovulation and contribute to menstrual irregularities.

Cortisol
Cortisol, often called the “stress hormone,” is released by the adrenal glands in response to physical or psychological stress. It plays a catabolic role by breaking down muscle tissue and regulating energy metabolism. Chronically elevated cortisol—common in overtrained athletes—can impair muscle recovery, reduce testosterone levels, and weaken immune function. Conversely, abnormally low cortisol may indicate adrenal insufficiency. According to a 2018 review in Sports Medicine, managing cortisol levels is vital for achieving optimal training outcomes and preventing burnout.

Albumin
Albumin, a liver-synthesised protein, is the most abundant in the blood and plays a crucial role in maintaining fluid balance and transporting hormones, vitamins, and medications. Low albumin may signal malnutrition, liver dysfunction, or chronic inflammation—any of which can reduce performance capacity and prolong recovery.

Globulin
Globulin represents a group of proteins involved in immune function and hormone transport. Abnormal globulin levels may point to chronic inflammation, liver dysfunction, or suppressed immunity, all of which are relevant to bodybuilders managing high-intensity training and muscle repair.

Total Protein
Total Protein is the combined concentration of albumin and globulin. It offers a broad view of protein status and helps assess whether your body is synthesising, utilising, and recovering efficiently from training. Low total protein can suggest dietary insufficiency or systemic inflammation, both of which undermine progress.

Haemoglobin
Haemoglobin is the oxygen-carrying protein in red blood cells. It directly affects endurance, energy output, and muscle oxygenation during training. Low haemoglobin levels are a hallmark of anaemia, which can severely limit athletic performance and recovery.

Haematocrit
Haematocrit is the percentage of blood volume made up of red blood cells. A higher haematocrit improves oxygen-carrying capacity but can also increase the risk of blood thickening, particularly in individuals using erythropoietin-stimulating agents or anabolic steroids. Lower levels may reflect under-recovery or nutritional deficiencies.

Platelet Count
Platelet Count measures the number of platelets, which are essential for blood clotting and tissue repair. Abnormal levels may indicate inflammation, bone marrow suppression, or recovery-related stress. A balanced count supports vascular health and post-training repair processes.

Mean Platelet Volume (MPV)
Mean Platelet Volume reflects the average size of your platelets. Elevated MPV may suggest increased platelet activation and inflammation, while low MPV could reflect suppressed platelet production. It is useful for monitoring cardiovascular stress and recovery readiness in athletes.

Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA)
Prostate-Specific Antigen is a protein produced by the prostate gland. Elevated PSA levels can be an early sign of prostate inflammation, benign enlargement, or—less commonly—prostate cancer. For men engaged in intense training or those using anabolic agents, PSA monitoring is critical to ensure that hormone-driven changes are not adversely affecting prostate health.

Full Blood Count (FBC)
Full Blood Count is a broad screening test evaluating red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. It helps detect anaemia, infection, inflammation, or bone marrow stress. For athletes, FBC is particularly valuable in identifying immune strain, under-recovery, or nutrient deficiencies that may not yet present with symptoms.
