Strength may lie in the muscles and bones, but it takes the whole body working effectively to get performance gains.
If you’re an athlete who wants to increase their strength and power output, training to the edge of your body’s ability is where progress happens, but push too hard, too heavy or too often and you risk tipping over into the realm of overtraining and injury.
Finding that balance can be difficult, but with more insight and knowledge into how your body is responding to training and nutrition, you can find it.
Through accurate biomarker testing and with expert knowledge from a hand-picked team of sports scientists, you can ensure your body has what it needs so you can train smarter and with confidence.
What biomarkers are important for power athletes?
Performance relies on many factors. Biomarkers can ensure your body has what it needs by analysing essential nutrients such as vitamin D and B12. Creatine kinase and hs-CRP can give insight into whether you’re leaving your body enough time to recover.
Testosterone levels and other hormones like oestragen don’t just affect strength and fertility; they can also be indicators of overall athlete health and indicates if your body is making the adaptions required with your training.
Forth Edge brings together they key biomarkers for the power-based athlete with in-depth information and expert advice to give you the knowledge you need to perform at your best.
How often should I test?
The better your understanding of your own body and how it works, the more accurately you can train your strengths and address areas of concern.
Regular testing will establish a personalised baseline which allows you to compare not only how your biomarkers match up to other athletes of similar age and gender, but also means spotting changes and patterns is easier and more accurate.
Forth Edge recommends testing every 3 months to build up a detailed picture.

“I find the information about my blood values at different points in the season very valuable; it helps me guide my training and monitor the training load. Equally my nutritionist, coach and gym coach use this information to better enable them to direct my training. It’s a complete team effort and Forth Edge makes this possible. Plus the test is super quick and easy.”

“As a professional athlete I need to ensure that I’m looking after my body throughout the year. Being an ultra runner, my training volume is high (225km average per week) and it’s essential to stay healthy. This is where Forth Edge has helped me; my first test showed that my iron levels were low and I have now been able to improve them which has really helped my performance. It’s an essential part of my training and racing as an endurance athlete!”

“The more Forth Edge results I’ve had the better I’ve been able to compare previous results and therefore discover what is normal for me. Last year I had elevated white blood cell results and inflammation compared to previous results. It came 5 weeks after a bad cold that I thought I was over but turns out I wasn’t and I could adapt my training accordingly.”
