Athlete Performance Screening
Athlete Performance Screening with Sugi Health
Onebody provides professional, medically driven health and performance assessments via Dr Ding & Sugi Health.
- DEXA (Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry)
- Blood Panel
- Continuous Glucose Monitoring
Why these tests?
- DEXA scans allow practitioners to understand body asymmetries and weaknesses, identify potential bone stress injuries and understand resting metabolic rates and macros to assist in weight management
- Blood Panels identifies baseline nutritional status and deficiencies ensuring adequate minerals like Calcium and Vitamin D are adequate for an endurance athlete. In addition, for women, allows intervention in cases of hormonal imbalances that may affect athletic performance.
- Continuous Glucose Monitoring shows how an individual tolerates and metabolises glucose and understand glucose response so you can fuel with the right food at the right time for optimum performance
Initial Testing Process
Two sessions 45 mins are setup with the practitioner (Dr. Ding).
- First consultation is to discuss and understand any health concerns, explain process, and baseline tests and understand your specific goals.
- Second consultation is to explain the baseline data collected and turn them into actionable insights applicable to your training and performance.
