Forth Edge
Meet Forth Edge
Forth Edge is a sports-specific biomarker profiling that enables athletes to get “athlete” normal indication of their body’s function.
This can be done at home, quickly, easily and the results can be shared through an app within a matter of days.
What do they offer?
Forth Edge offers finger-prick at-home blood tests for athletes to frequently track the impact of training and other life stress on their body. They offer various tests (including custom ones). However, we have created tests that look at Endurance training, recovery, race fit-optimisation and training load.
If you prefer, you can arrange for a phlebotomist to come to your house and take your blood for you without doing the finger prick testing.
Why we like working with Forth Edge
The science of coaching has long been aiming to quantify “training load”. Unfortunately, with the impact of general life, diet and rest, the “science” often becomes an art. Forth Edge allows athletes to easily and regularly check their biomarkers on fatigue, over-training, hormones or other specific areas to make sure they are healthy as well as fit. As we believe that health enables performance, we can ensure that athletes are able to deliver sustained training and performances for many years at a time. It quite literally lifts the hood off your training engine.
