Performance Biomarker Cycling

Meaning

Performance Biomarker Cycling refers to the intentional, rhythmic fluctuation of measurable physiological indicators, such as specific hormone levels, inflammatory markers, or metabolic substrates, in a pattern that is optimal for maximizing physical and cognitive output and subsequent recovery. This advanced approach moves beyond achieving static, “normal” levels to ensuring that biomarkers exhibit a robust, high-amplitude diurnal rhythm aligned with the demands of the day-night cycle. Effective cycling involves timing interventions like nutrient intake or exercise to amplify the desired peaks and troughs in these markers. This is a strategy used to enhance athletic and cognitive longevity.
