The NBPA is collaborating with the wellness platform Function Health so current and former players will have access to transformative testing and data to improve their performance, as well as long-term fitness.
Every NBPA member can join Function Health’s robust program, which includes 100-plus advanced lab tests that monitor, for instance, heart health, hormones and toxins. Once evaluated, the players will gain customized insights via a secure dashboard, complete with recommendations on diet and lifestyle in order to maximize their bodies and future health condition.
As the exclusive biomarker partner of the NBPA, one of Function Health’s key goals is also to detect potential diseases early.
“Our players are some of the best athletes in the world, and health is their greatest asset,” said Matteo Zuretti, the NBPA’s Chief Player Experience Officer. “Whether with us at The Sanctuary - our performance retreat for players - at our NY headquarters, or on their own time, we are committed to providing players with state-of-the-art testing and health data to optimize their training routines as high-performance athletes. This partnership with Function Health unlocks another tool for players to track their health proactively over time, empowering them to make informed decisions for their long-term well-being.”
