Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) blood test provides a clinically relevant assessment of tissue integrity, with particular value in evaluating muscle stress and recovery in physically active individuals. LDH is an intracellular enzyme released into the bloodstream following cellular damage, making it a sensitive biomarker for detecting exercise-induced muscle breakdown. In a sports medicine or performance context, elevated LDH levels may indicate delayed recovery, excessive training load, or risk of overtraining syndrome. This test is recommended for athletes, trainers, and healthcare professionals seeking objective data to guide training adjustments, recovery protocols, or injury prevention strategies. Regular monitoring can assist in optimising performance while safeguarding long-term musculoskeletal health
