Testosterone
What is the Advanced Sports Hormone Test?
Movement is associated with a healthy lifestyle, but this does not mean that it should be practised anyway, especially when, being an amateur, you want to increase the intensity or frequency. Whether you want to hit the gym, train for a marathon or triathlon, or practice any other sustained sport, a trip to the doctor can save you from future injuries or more serious health problems.
Why get one?
Even if you don’t have pain or other symptoms of illness and feel fit, it’s good to take steps to exercise safely.
