Sports Hormone

What Does This Test Check?

The Sports Hormone Check measures the hormones that influence training response, recovery and body composition, including testosterone, cortisol and thyroid markers. It is aimed at athletes who want to see whether their hormone balance supports their performance goals.

Medichecks offers two tiers: the Sports Hormone Check at 109 pounds and the Check Plus version at 159 pounds, which adds extra markers. Both are home blood tests, so the Plus tier is the way to go if you want a wider picture, while the standard one keeps the price lower.

A low testosterone or a high cortisol reading may indicate a training load or recovery issue rather than a medical disease, and results can swing with sleep and stress. A single snapshot is not a diagnosis, so share it with a GP or sports medicine professional who can interpret it against how you train and feel.
