DNA Sport
DNA Sport analyzes genetic factors impacting trainingresponsiveness and athletic performance across various biological areas. Theseinclude soft tissue and bone formation, inflammation, oxidative stress,oxygenation, energy production, and metabolism during exercise. Understandinggene variations in these areas helps exploit genetic advantages and addressweaknesses through tailored diet and training strategies.
