Numerous studies on the human genome have linked an individual’s athletic ability to their genetic makeup.
The test analyzes certain polymorphisms to determine a person’s genetic predisposition to power or endurance sports. Specifically, it can assess an individual’s predisposition to greater synthesis of type 1 fibers (slow-twitch, more prevalent in endurance muscles) versus type 2 fibers (fast-twitch, more prevalent in power muscles).
Furthermore, the predisposition to a greater or lesser cardiovascular and metabolic ventilatory response induced by exercise (VO2max) and therefore a subject’s maximum aerobic power is investigated.
To optimize training and limit injuries, genetic polymorphisms related to recovery between training sessions and polymorphisms associated with the predisposition to ligament laxity, articular cartilage weakness, and osteoarthritis are considered.
The test also provides information regarding susceptibility to bone mineral density reduction, osteoporosis risk, and fracture risk. Finally, personalized recommendations are provided regarding foods to eat and avoid, and lifestyle changes.
With the help of the test, your doctor/longevity expert and/or athletic trainer can plan a customized diet and training program, and implement personalized interventions tailored to your specific needs.
