Understanding the BIO-Sports DNA Test
Leading an active lifestyle and incorporating regular movement into daily routines are crucial for maintaining overall health, enhancing cardiovascular fitness, and supporting mental well-being.
However, engaging in sports and intense workouts can also lead to various physical concerns and conditions, such as muscle injuries, ligament and tendon damage, and overuse conditions like tendonitis or stress fractures. Athletes may also experience fatigue, cramping, and muscle strains depending on the type and intensity of physical activity. Inflammatory responses, which can lead to muscle soreness and delayed recovery, are another common concern, especially after intense or repetitive exercise. Tendon and ligament injuries, such as sprains or ruptures, are particularly common in sports that involve high-impact movements. These issues, along with stress fractures, are often associated with overtraining or improper recovery, further exacerbating the risk of injury.
Many of these issues are influenced by genetics. For example, specific genes affect collagen production, which impacts the strength and flexibility of tendons and ligaments, making some individuals more prone to injuries. Other genes will influence muscle fibre composition, determining whether a person is better suited for endurance or power-based activities, and also affecting susceptibility to muscle strains or fatigue. Certain other genes will regulate inflammation and recovery responses, with certain variants increasing the likelihood of prolonged soreness or injury. By understanding these genetic predispositions, athletes can better tailor their training to reduce injury risk and improve performance.

About the BIO-Sports DNA Test
Why take the test?
The Bio-sports DNA Test offers personalised insights into your athletic potential and performance, helping you gain a deeper understanding of your body’s unique strengths and needs. By leveraging this information, you can optimise your training, enhance performance, and support effective recovery, ultimately helping you achieve your fitness goals and excel in your athletic endeavours.
NON REFUNDABLE DUE TO THE RISK OF CONTAMINATION.
The Bio-sports DNA Test analyses 25 polymorphisms - DNA sequences - and specifically evaluates genetic factors that influence athletic performance, recovery, and susceptibility to exercise-related injuries, some of which include:
1.
ACTN3
Alpha-Actinin-3
Associated with muscle function, particularly fast-twitch muscle fibres, and determines whether an individual may be more suited for sprint/power activities or endurance activities.
2.
ACE
Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme
Associated with cardiovascular endurance and muscle efficiency. Variants of the ACE gene are linked to either endurance or power performance.
3.
PPARGC1A
Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Gamma Coactivator 1-Alpha
Associated with mitochondrial biogenesis and oxidative metabolism, which influences endurance capacity and the body’s ability to burn fat.
4.
COL5A1
Collagen Type 5 Alpha 1 Chain
Associated with tendon and ligament strength. Variants may influence susceptibility to injuries like tendon or ligament tears.
5.
IL1B
Interleukin 1B
Associated with inflammation of skeletal muscle following acute exercise which may affect recovery and muscle soreness after exercise.
6.
AGT
Angiotensinogen
Associated with blood pressure regulation and muscle efficiency which is linked to endurance and strength performance.
7.
SOD2
Superoxide Dismutase 2
Associated with oxidative stress management which can impact recovery and resistance to fatigue.
8.
HIF1A
Hypoxia-Inducible Factor 1-Alpha
Associated with oxygen homeostasis which influences adaptation to low-oxygen environments, important for endurance sports.
