Designed specifically for overtraining detection
Urea, ammonia, LDH, CRP, ALT, AST, uric acid and glucose. The eight markers that shift when training load exceeds recovery capacity.
Measures key markers of muscle breakdown, inflammation, energy use and liver function to help identify the effects of excessive training and recovery needs.
Your results delivered as a complete pathology report, with reference ranges and clinical context for every marker. Easy to read yourself or hand straight to your GP.
The same pathology report format used by hospitals and GPs across Australia.
Every result is shown alongside the normal range. Abnormal results are highlighted in red so you spot them straight away.
Delivered privately within 24-48 hours of testing. Yours to keep, share or print.
See at a glance which markers are healthy and which need attention.
Calculated free testosterone is below the lower reference limit. May be associated with symptoms of low testosterone including fatigue, low libido, and reduced energy.
Urea, ammonia, LDH, CRP, ALT, AST, uric acid and glucose. The eight markers that shift when training load exceeds recovery capacity.
The classic signs of overtraining: fatigue, plateau, irritability, poor sleep and slow recovery. This panel reveals whether your body is actually overtrained or something else.
LDH rises when muscle tissue is breaking down faster than it can recover. A practical marker for assessing whether training intensity is sustainable.
Liver markers and ammonia show how protein metabolism is being affected by high training load. Useful for assessing whether dietary protein and recovery are adequate.
Marathon training, CrossFit, triathlon and high-volume strength athletes all sit at higher overtraining risk. This panel catches the markers that shift before performance crashes.

The Overtraining Test is a targeted overtraining test for athletes and heavy trainers who want to know whether their training load is outpacing their recovery. Pushing hard works only if you recover, and this panel looks at the markers that signal muscle breakdown, inflammation and metabolic stress.
It measures urea and uric acid (which reflect protein breakdown and metabolic load), ammonia (a marker of energy metabolism under stress), LDH (released with muscle stress), CRP (inflammation), the liver enzymes ALT and AST (which rise with muscle and liver stress), and glucose. Read together, these help show whether your body is adapting to training or struggling to keep up.
To see hormones alongside recovery, the Men’s Sports Hormone Panel covers testosterone, cortisol and IGF-1, and the Sports Extended panel combines both. You can also build your own blood test.
The Overtraining Test needs no GP referral and no appointment, so you can get your blood test online and walk into any of 3,300+ collection centres across Australia, with results in 24 to 48 hours. For more on training stress and recovery, Healthdirect Australia is a useful reference.
Urea: Measures how well your kidneys remove waste from the blood and can reflect hydration or protein metabolism.
Uric Acid: Checks for uric acid buildup, which can be linked to gout or kidney issues.
Ammonia: Assesses liver function and the body’s ability to remove waste; high levels can indicate liver or metabolic problems.
LDH (Lactate Dehydrogenase): Evaluates cell health and helps detect tissue damage in the liver, heart, or muscles.
C-Reactive Protein (CRP): Detects inflammation in the body that may indicate infection, injury, or chronic disease.
ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase): Measures a liver enzyme that helps identify liver inflammation or damage.
AST (Aspartate Aminotransferase): Tests another liver enzyme that rises when there’s liver, heart, or muscle injury.
Glucose: Measures blood sugar levels to assess energy balance and screen for diabetes or metabolic issues.
