Key result
This review highlights the main biochemical and haematological markers that vary during and after sports training to establish a specific parameter panel for health evaluation in elite athletes.
Why the study?
Evaluating athlete health status is essential in sports science to identify optimal diagnostic strategies to enhance performance and mitigate exercise-related risks.
A specific panel of biochemical and haematological markers can help evaluate health status, improve performance, and reduce injury risks in elite athletes.
May guide development of athlete-specific biomarker panels; leaves open prospective validation before clinical use.
The need to evaluate the health status of an athlete represents a crucial aim in preventive and protective sports science in order to identify the best diagnostic strategy to improve performance and reduce risks related to physical exercise. In the present review we aim to define the main biochemical and haematological markers that vary significantly during and after sports training to identify risk factors, at competitive and professional levels and to highlight the set up of a specific parameter's panel for elite athletes. Moreover, we also intend to consider additional biomarkers, still under investigation, which could further contribute to laboratory sports medicine and provide reliable data that can be used by athlete's competent staff in order to establish personal attitudes and prevent sports injuries.
