At Nadcell Clinic, we offer a series of specialised blood testing panels designed to monitor key biomarkers linked to physical fitness, energy, recovery, and muscle health.

Whether you’re starting a new training programme or competing at a high level, regular testing helps identify underlying imbalances that may be affecting performance. Each test is carried out in a clinical setting by experienced professionals, and results are delivered quickly and confidentially.

We Are A Pioneering Clinic, With Innovative Treatments and Specialised Therapies.
The Basic Sports Profile is designed for active individuals looking to track essential health markers related to performance, recovery, and overall wellbeing. It includes hormone testing for Testosterone and Estradiol to assess energy levels, muscle support, and hormonal balance, alongside Full Blood Count (FBC), Liver Function, and Kidney Function (U&E Profile). Together, these tests provide insight into your oxygen-carrying capacity, hydration status, and how well your body is processing and eliminating waste.
This panel is suitable for anyone who exercises regularly, whether you’re lifting weights, running, or engaging in high-intensity training. If you’ve been experiencing fatigue, slow recovery, or reduced stamina, these tests can help detect any underlying issues before they affect your performance. All samples are taken during a short appointment, with results typically available in two to three working days. With the right information, you can make informed decisions about training, nutrition, and rest — allowing you to stay ahead of your fitness goals with confidence.
The Male Sports Performance Profile in Glasgow is a comprehensive testing package for those who train regularly or are involved in competitive sport. It offers a deep dive into the systems that support endurance, strength, recovery, and hormonal balance. This extensive panel covers Full Blood Count, Lipid Profile, Liver and Kidney Health, Iron Panel, Magnesium, Vitamin B12, Folate, and Vitamin D to evaluate nutrition and organ function. It also includes Creatinine Kinase to detect muscle stress, and C-Reactive Protein to identify inflammation.
In addition to these markers, the test measures key male hormones including Testosterone, SHBG, and Free Testosterone (calculated), as well as Cortisol — an important indicator of physical stress and recovery. Thyroid function and glucose regulation (Plasma Glucose and HbA1c) are also included for a full view of energy metabolism. This profile is ideal for men looking to optimise performance, avoid overtraining, and fine-tune their health for better results. Results are delivered within three to four working days with clinical interpretation and next-step support available.
The Female Sports Performance Profile is a complete blood testing package specifically designed for women who lead an active lifestyle or engage in regular training. It assesses everything from nutritional balance and muscle recovery to hormone function and stress response — key elements that influence strength, stamina, and overall physical performance. This profile includes Full Blood Count, Lipid Profile, Kidney and Liver Panels, Iron Status, Magnesium, Vitamin B12, Folate, and Vitamin D, giving you a broad overview of your health.
Hormone testing includes Testosterone, SHBG, Free Androgen Index, Luteinising Hormone (LH), and Cortisol, providing insight into hormonal health and how your body is coping with training demands. Thyroid screening (TSH, Free T3, Free T4), Creatinine Kinase for muscle stress, and markers of inflammation and glucose control (CRP, Plasma Glucose, and HbA1c) offer further understanding of metabolic and endocrine balance. Whether you’re training for an event, managing fatigue, or just want to maximise your results, this profile helps you tailor your training, recovery, and nutrition with real-time biological insight.
Regular sports health screening provides the foundation for making informed decisions about training, recovery, and diet. If you’ve been pushing yourself harder, hitting a plateau, or experiencing unexplained fatigue or dips in performance, a sports blood test can highlight what’s going on beneath the surface. These panels assess more than just fitness — they look at your hormones, inflammation markers, nutrient status, and organ function to create a clear picture of how your body is responding to physical demands.
For athletes or active individuals, catching early signs of imbalance or deficiency is key to preventing injury, improving recovery, and avoiding burnout. Hormonal imbalances, low iron, or hidden inflammation can affect your energy levels and performance — even when everything seems fine on the outside. With the right tests, you’ll gain actionable insights to adjust your training programme or nutrition plan to better support your body’s needs.
Booking a sports health blood test at Nadcell Clinic is a simple and straightforward process. Once your appointment is confirmed, our clinical team will greet you in a calm, professional setting and talk you through the procedure. Most of our sports panels require a small number of blood samples, taken using a standard needle from the arm. For some panels, a urine sample may also be requested. The process is quick, typically lasting no more than 15–20 minutes.
You don’t usually need to fast beforehand unless specifically advised. After your appointment, your samples are sent to our accredited laboratory partners for analysis, with most results available within two to four working days depending on the profile. Once your results are ready, our medical team will provide a clear breakdown of your data, explain any areas of concern, and guide you on what to do next — whether that means reviewing your training programme, adjusting supplements, or consulting further.
