Decoding Your Athletic Profile
The Genofit DNA Fitness Test analyzes essential genes influencing your physical performance, guiding you to tailor your fitness regimen for maximum results.
Endurance Profile
Learn about your genetic potential for sustained aerobic performance.
- Energy Conversion & Oxygen Flow: Variants in the PPARD and VEGFA genes influence how efficiently your body converts fat to energy and delivers oxygen to your muscles.
- Muscle Performance: The ACE gene affects blood pressure regulation and muscle efficiency, while ADRB2 (the "fight or flight" gene) impacts your response during prolonged activity.
- Muscle Fibre Balance: Your PPARA gene variant provides insight into the composition of your muscle fibres, indicating a natural predisposition for endurance.
Strength & Power Profile
Discover your genetic capacity for muscle size, strength, and explosive power.
- Muscle Growth & Size: The ACVR1B and IL6 genes play a significant role in the cellular pathways that trigger muscle growth and increase power in response to strength training.
- The "Sprinter" Gene (ACTN3): This gene is linked to the presence of fast-twitch muscle fibers, essential for generating explosive power in activities like sprinting and weightlifting.
- Hormone Response (AGT): Your AGT variant influences blood pressure and growth hormone response, both of which are key factors in strength performance.
Training Response & Recovery
Gain insights into how your body adapts to exercise and recovers from it.
- Aerobic Improvement (PPARGC1A): Understand your potential for improving your VO2 max and overall aerobic fitness.
- Lactate Utilization (MCT1): Determines how efficiently your muscles use lactate, a byproduct of intense exercise, which can affect muscle fatigue.
- HDL Cholesterol Response (PPARD): See how your "good" cholesterol levels are likely to respond to exercise.
- Heart Rate Recovery (CRP): Your CRP gene provides clues about your cardiovascular recovery efficiency after a workout.
Injury Risk & Motivation
Identify potential predispositions to injury and understand your mental approach to fitness.
- Soft Tissue Injury Risk (COL1A1): Reveals your genetic susceptibility to injuries in tendons and ligaments.
- Achilles Injury Risk (COL5A1): Specifically assesses your genetic risk for Achilles tendinopathy.
- Pain Tolerance (COMT): Your COMT gene variant can influence your perception of pain and your ability to push through discomfort during intense training.
- Exercise Motivation (BDNF): Affects the natural drive and sense of reward you get from physical activity.
