Comprehensive genetic tests for sports applications.
Human athletic performance is a multifactorial phenotype shaped by the interplay of environmental influences and genetic variation, with most exercise-associated traits exhibiting a polygenic inheritance pattern. Sports genetic testing is a form of analysis that examines specific genetic variants associated with athletic performance, physiological adaptation, recovery capacity, and susceptibility to sports-related injuries. By identifying polymorphisms in genes linked to traits such as muscle fiber composition, aerobic capacity, gender and inflammatory response, this testing provides evidence-based insights into an individual’s inherent athletic potential.
The test is intended for elite athletes wishing to compete in national and international competitions. The test is based on a quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) of the SRY gene (Sex determining Region Y), a test which has a very high specificity and sensitivity.
