What it analyses

Progress does not come from more training alone. Load, recovery, nutrition and your own biology all work together. This panel adds biological data to help your doctor look at these areas.

Your report

Fitness and health at a glance

The report gives an overall fitness and health score as a percentage and seven traffic-light scores. Your doctor talks you through what they mean.

  • GreenIn the favourable range. The report suggests how to keep it there.
  • YellowIn the middle band. Your doctor explains what it means for you.
  • RedStands out. Your doctor prioritises it in your plan.
  • A fictional example report from HealthBioCare, the laboratory that runs the analysis. Your own report follows the same layout, without the two genetics tabs, which belong to the optional Plus version.

It measures eight sport-related microRNAs. Together they give seven scores and an overall fitness and health score. Your doctor goes through the report with you.
