Biomarkers
Objectively monitor internal load, minimize injury risk and personalize recovery with our comprehensive biomarker analysis.
Understanding athlete health with biomarkers
Orreco's biomarker module provides a comprehensive solution to monitor and analyse your athletes' internal response to training, offering objective insights into their recovery status. By understanding this crucial balance, you gain a complete picture of athlete well-being beyond external load metrics. Our advanced algorithms create individualised ranges, eliminating guesswork and providing specific strategies to optimize athlete health.
Evidence based. Actionable insights.
Peer-reviewed evidence
Our team of sports scientists have undertaken extensive research to develop and validate this practice in the field and have published their findings extensively. This peer-reviewed research has been proven in multiple sports to be effective in reducing injury, illness risk and to optimise recovery.
Individualised ranges
We have built on this knowledge base in applied sports science research and developed a world-first software solution. Industry leading algorithms are powered by adaptive ranges which are individualised to each athlete. This automatically identify priorities amongst your athletes and offer strategies for athlete intervention.
Actionable insights
Biomarker analysis provides RAG scores (Red, Amber, Green) to give clear indications on the status of individual biomarkers and overall status. Automatic feedback is provided on nutrition and potential outcomes. You can also flag and set reviews for follow up with your team and send protocols directly to the athlete.
Point of Care Biomarkers
Point-of-care biomarkers are a set of non-invasive, rapid result blood tests.. They provide an accurate ‘snapshot’ of the athlete’s internal load and inflammation status which is actionable that day. The tests are minimally invasive as they require only a pin-prick of blood which can be drawn in under 1 minute. Regular testing provides individualised early indications of increased risk of injury and helps protect against overreaching and under-recovery. It also provides evidence-based insights for your team to intervene directly and effectively through nutritional support, sleep optimization, cold/hot water therapies, compression, and other recovery strategies.
Full Panel Biomarkers
Full panel reviews offer a comprehensive overview of over 50 biomarkers. These intravenous tests are ideal for gathering larger amounts of biomarker data to understand the longer term drivers behind an athlete’s physiological status. Comprehensive panels are organised in to several ‘clusters’ each related to key aspects of athlete health & performance; e.g. (Nutrition & Hydration, Fatty Acid Profile, Oxygen Transport, Bone Health, Hormonal Drive & more). These tests are typically drawn at several key points across the season (pre-season, mid-season etc) and offer objective data for individualised interventions.
Tissue Damage & Inflammation
Creatine Kinase, C Reactive Protein etc.
Comprehensive Blood Count
White & Red Blood Cell Indices etc.
Energy Status
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone
Free T3 and Free T4 etc.
Iron Markers
Serum Iron, Ferritin etc.
Nutrition & Hydration
B, E & D Vitamins,
Salts/Electrolytes etc.
Hormonal Drive
Testosterone to Cortisol Ratio Sex Hormone Status etc.
Oxygen Transport
Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH)
Hemoglobin etc.
Fatty Acid
Omega 3 & 6, AA/EPA etc.
Key features
Revolutionise your health diagnostics with accurate biomarker data, empowering informed decision-making for athlete management.
Real-time squad insights
Biomarker results from point-of-care tests offer an important snapshot of a player’s current internal load. Redox and inflammation markers can be tracked longitudinally and quickly cross-referenced against game and training schedules. This enables your team to identify patterns individual to each athlete to protect player health and optimise recovery strategies.
Integrated athlete profiles
GPS devices capture a range of rich data on players’ daily external load from both training and competition. Recovery Lab enables you to ingest these large datasets automatically and review important metrics such as Total Distance, Accelerations & Decelerations in context. Custom ranges can be applied to further personalise strategies and interrogate the effectiveness of interventions.
Interactive data visualisation
Performance data from neural and musculoskeletal testing offers another important layer of information context to your testing battery. For example, selected ForceDecks, ForceFrame or NordBord variables can be summarised and graphed with individualised normative thresholds. With Recovery Lab, your team can quickly evaluate neuromuscular function alongside other performance data and set interdisciplinary reviews and follow ups as necessary.
Personalised adaptive ranges
Self-reported player data is an important consideration in identifying meaningful changes in an athlete’s physiological state. Regular feedback can be logged through our @thlete app covering such topics as Muscle Soreness, Stress, Fatigue, Sleep Quality and more. These questionnaires can also be customised to fit the needs of your squad and organisation.
Streamlined case management
Users can create biomarker cases, schedule laboratory tests, customise athlete questionnaires and more from within the admin section. All historical cases are safe and secure on our platform.
Enhanced team communication
Leave comments and direct messages to members of your support staff to facilitate athlete support. Follow up messages and interventions can be sent directly to the athlete via the @thlete app.
