Description
Ideal use: Female athletes looking to optimize training around the menstrual cycle.
Ladies! Finally, a blood test that accounts for our unique female physiology and provides recommendations timed specifically to our menstrual cycle.
The ABT.she Panel helps us use our cycle to our advantage. It provides the information we need to feel better, recover faster, and work out or train more efficiently and effectively.
The ABT.she Panel includes an analysis of nutritional needs, training tolerance, recoverability, and competition readiness in general and with respect to each phase of your menstrual cycle.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that athletes have their blood drawn on approximately day 3 of their cycle (day 3 of their period) for the best results.
Ideal use: biologically female athletes should use it as their initial ABT test and/or yearly during the pre-season to establish baselines or if they experience loss of their period or other changes in their menstrual cycle.
By ordering an ABT.she Panel, you also become a part of our ABT.she community and join us in shaping the future of sports science. Our ABT.she Panel is the anchor of our ABT.she Initiative, which is Athlete Blood Test’s concerted effort to help female athletes thrive. The ABT.she Initiative is part of the movement to support women in sports. It aims to: (1) increase the knowledge of the sports science community about female physiology; and (2) provide resources and community to support female athletes of all ages, stages, and abilities. For more information, follow us on Instagram @athletebloodtestcom and watch for website updates as the Initiative takes shape and grows. We can’t wait to help you—and generations of female athletes—meet their goals.
