Blood values for strength athletes
Blood values show your condition from the inside, past anything the mirror tells you. Training hard shifts some values for a while, muscle and liver markers among them. Look up a value and read its reference range. You also see when a result genuinely needs attention.

Reverse T3
Reverse T3 is an inactive thyroid hormone that may increase during stress or illness. For men, elevated levels might affect energy, metabolic rate, and overall vitality.
SAA (Serum Amyloid A)
According to Leeds Teaching Hospitals (NHS), serum amyloid A (SAA) is a protein that is the precursor of amyloid A fibres, which are found in amyloidosis, and liver cells release SAA in the acute phase of inflammation.
SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin)
According to the NVKC, SHBG, a protein from the liver, binds testosterone firmly and carries it around in a non-active form.
Selenium
Selenium supports antioxidant defence, thyroid function, and may play a role in male reproductive health. Optimal levels support overall vitality.
Semen Analysis
Semen analysis is a fundamental test for understanding your reproductive health as a man.
Serotonin
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter involved in mood regulation, sleep quality, and digestive health. For men, balanced serotonin levels may support emotional resilience, restful sleep, and overall mental well-being.
Sodium
Sodium regulates fluid balance, blood pressure, and muscle function. Proper levels are key for sustained energy and physical performance.
Syphilis Screening
The Syphilis Screening test is a treponemal-based test that detects antibodies specifically directed against Treponema pallidum, the bacterium that causes syphilis.
TNF Alpha
TNF-α drives systemic inflammation that can sap energy and slow recovery. Keeping it controlled supports sustained vitality and physical resilience.
TPO Antibodies
TPO antibodies indicate potential autoimmune thyroid activity. For men, undetected thyroid autoimmunity may gradually affect energy, metabolism, and overall vitality.
TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)
Your TSH value tells you how hard your pituitary is driving your thyroid, and in men with low energy or a declining libido that number often explains what testosterone does not.
TSH Receptor Antibodies
TRAb antibodies target the TSH receptor and are associated with Graves' disease. For men, undiagnosed autoimmune hyperthyroidism may affect muscle mass, energy levels, and cardiovascular health.
TSI (Thyroid Stimulating Immunoglobulin)
TSI is an antibody linked to Graves' disease that may cause overactive thyroid function. In men, thyroid imbalances can potentially affect energy, metabolism, and overall vitality.
Thyroglobulin
Thyroglobulin is a protein produced by the thyroid gland that may provide insight into thyroid health for men.
Thyroglobulin Antibodies
Thyroglobulin Antibodies are immune markers that may indicate autoimmune thyroid activity in men.
Total Cholesterol
Total cholesterol gives a quick overview of your lipid status. Combined with HDL and LDL, it helps men understand and manage cardiovascular health.
Total T3 (Triiodothyronine)
Total T3 measures the most active thyroid hormone in your blood. For men, T3 levels may influence energy, metabolism, and body composition.
Total Testosterone
Total testosterone is the primary male hormone, essential for muscle development, bone strength, energy, and reproductive health.
Transferrin
According to the NVKC, transferrin is the protein that binds iron in the blood and transports it through the body.
Transferrin Saturation
According to the NVKC, the body absorbs iron in the gut, binds it directly to the transport protein transferrin and keeps a reserve in the cells of the liver, in the protein ferritin.
Triglycerides
Triglycerides reflect your body's fat metabolism efficiency. Managing levels supports cardiovascular health, energy, and a lean body composition.
Troponin T (Cardiac)
Troponin is a protein in the heart muscle that lets the muscle cells contract and normally stays inside those cells.
Urea (BUN)
According to the Cleveland Clinic, when protein from food is broken down, the liver forms urea, a waste product that reaches the kidneys through the blood.
Uric Acid
Uric acid is particularly relevant for men, who are more susceptible to gout. Managing levels supports joint health, kidney function, and overall metabolic vitality.
