Professional basketball requires precise management of physical load. Frequent games, international travel, and short recovery windows directly impact a player's hormones. To track these variables, Australian international and two-time WNBL champion Maddie Garrick has integrated the Summa Research Kit into her training regimen.
Currently competing with Movistar Estudiantes Madrid, her protocol focuses on monitoring hormonal markers during the season. By following specific sampling protocols, she pairs her samples with daily contextual data to measure free cortisol and free testosterone.
Tracking her T/C (testosterone-to-cortisol) ratio provides actionable insights into how her body responds holistically this period. This objective data allows her to proactively manage fatigue, mitigate injury risk, and optimize recovery to sustain peak output.
