DNA Sport is a genetic test that provides insight into various biological areas impacting training responsiveness and sports performance. The results of the DNA Sport test can be used to optimize performance by personalising your training program to enhance any genetic advantages and identify any weaknesses that need to be supported through training and nutrition strategies.

Clinical value

The DNA Sport test is suitable for the individual starting out, the recreational athlete or the seasoned competitor; anyone wanting to get the most out of their exercise, improve performance and prevent injury. The effectiveness of training and sporting performance is affected by key biological areas. With DNA Sport, we can help personalise a training strategy that optimises your genetic potential, as well as identifies the right lifestyle, nutrition and environmental interactions. This in turn maximises sporting potential, prevents injury and optimises recovery to reach peak levels of conditioning.

The report provides:

The level of impact of any genetic variants identified

• An explanation of their impact on sport performance, injury and recovery risk
• Appropriate nutritional and lifestyle recommendations in relation to health and sports performance, including power and endurance, athletic potential and key training principles, injury and recovery”

Assessment of:

20 genes, in three categories, which relate to sporting performance:

• Power and Endurance – physiological factors.
• Structural integrity – tendon pathology and injury risk.
• Recovery – training patterns and nutrition.
