DNAlysis DNA Sport

Looking to improve your patients sports performance, reduce their risk of injury and get the most out of their training? There is no such thing as “one size fits all” when it comes to exercise and sports performance. Train according to your unique genetic potential.

About this test

DNA Sport® is a genetic test designed to guide the personalisation of exercise and training recommendations. The report provides highly personalised and effective training advice, allowing your patient to adapt to, compensate for, and maximise their genetic strengths.

Ideal for

DNA Sport® is a genetic test for those looking to get maximum benefit from time spent training, and better understand their risk for soft tissue injuries and optimal recovery times. So whether the patient is a newcomer to exercise, a weekend warrior, or an elite athlete looking for that extra edge, DNA Sport® can help them adopt a more personalised approach to achieving their performance goals.

Test results

Research within the field of sports genetics has been prolific, with an increasing number of studies yielding fascinating results:

• 90% of elite rowers were found to be carriers of the same genetic variant
• 80% of Russian endurance athletes has a specific variant in common
• 66% of elite endurance athletes were found to be carriers of 8 or more “endurance-related” genes

Knowledge of how you are likely to respond to specific exercise training, can help you choose the bets training for you to reach optimal performance.

The process

2. Collect your DNA sample using the DNAlysis test kit that is sent to you.
3. Sample is sent to the DNAlysis laboratory and report sent to your healthcare practitioner within 3 to 4 weeks..
4. Explore your DNA. Your healthcare practitioner will notify you once they receive the report to set up a consultation. Your data is securely stored for future reports, if desired. (feedback can only be given to you through a consulting practitioner)
