The DNA Fitness test detects genetic variants that affect endurance ability, power training, strength training, response to exercise, sports-related injury risk and your motivation to exercise.
This test will provide you with actionable genetic insight on key genes linked to endurance ability, power potential, and your metabolic response to exercise. You will also receive personalized recommendations based on your DNA on the types of fitness activities you should incorporate into your workout. Get the most out of your workout with customized exercise plans.
The following genetic variants involved in athletic ability and physical fitness are detected in this test.
Endurance:
• PPARD – burning fat for energy
• VEGFA – blood vessel formation to improve oxygen supply
• ACE – blood pressure regulation and muscle efficiency
• ADRB2 – turning off the fight or flight response
• PPARA – slow-twitch versus fast-twitch muscle fibres
Exercise response:
• PPARGC1A – aerobic capacity improvements
• PPARD – increases in “good”
• HDL-cholesterol
• MCT1 – ability to use lactate as an energy source
Muscular Strength:
• ACVR1B – muscle signalling cascade that controls muscle mass and muscle strenght
• IL6 – messenger molecule and contributes to muscle growth
Power:
• ACTN3 – the “sprinter” gene
• AGT – blood pressure regulation and growth hormone levels
Other:
• BDNF – exercise motivation
• CRP – heart rate recovery
• COL1A1 – risk of soft tissue injury
• COL5A1 – risk of Achilles tendinopathy
• COMT – pain tolerance and required morphine dose
Whether your goal is to lose weight, improve muscle tone or run a faster marathon, everyone responds to exercise differently.
This DNA test detects genetic variants linked to fitness to address the following questions:
-
Are you a sprinter?
What is your endurance potential?
Will you benefit from weight training?
Are you affected by pain?
Are you at increased risk of soft tissue injury?
Are you motivated to exercise?
What is your strength capacity?
How quickly can you recover from intense training?
Here are the answers to the most frequently asked questions about this test.
Are my results confidential?
Yes, your results are 100% confidential. No one will be able to access your account or your results unless you give them your confidential account login. You can change the password to your account at any time. Please remember to safeguard your login information and not share it with anyone.
How long does the test take?
Testing begins immediately the day that your samples arrive at the laboratory. In some special situations, additional testing may be required, which could increase the turnaround time by a few extra days. You can check the status of your test online 24/7 using your secure account login. Your test report is released immediately once testing is complete.
Would eating or drinking before collecting my DNA affect my results?
Drinking or eating will not change the results in any way. The reason that you are not supposed to drink or have anything in the mouth for an extended period prior to collection is to ensure that we have enough buccal cells to complete the test. If there are not enough cells to complete the test, then the results will not be released and a recollection will be required.
How do I ship my samples back to the laboratory?
Once you have finished your sample collection, place the collection kit box into the prepaid plastic USPS envelope included with the kit, then mail your samples to the laboratory via your mailbox or a local USPS drop box. If you wish to monitor the status of your shipment, remember to record the tracking number on the shipping label. You can track the status of your shipment using your tracking number on the USPS website.
Do I have to use the return envelope to send my kits back?
No. You can send the kits back to the laboratory using any shipping method of your choosing. Please be advised that if you do not use the included prepaid return mailer to ship your samples, it is your responsibility to ensure that your samples arrive at the laboratory. We will not be able to provide assistance for shipments that do not use our prepaid return mailer.
