• How well you can tolerate pain
• Ways to optimize your workout with the Genofit app

Why Genetics Matter for Fitness

Are you struggling to improve your fitness? Or maybe you are just interested to know why you are a great sprinter but have a tough time finishing a 10K race. It all comes down to genetics. Your genes influence your athletic ability, response to exercise, injury risk, and pain tolerance — giving you the opportunity to create a personalized exercise plan that gets real results.

What the DNA Fitness Test Analyzes

Athletic Endurance – Endurance is the ability to continue exercising for an extended period. Variants analyzed:

• 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

Response to Exercise – Not everyone responds to exercise the same. Variants analyzed:

• PPARGC1A – aerobic capacity improvements
• PPARD – increases in HDL-cholesterol
• MCT1 – ability to use lactate as an energy source

Strength Training – Variants affecting muscular strength:

• ACVR1B – muscle signalling cascade that controls muscle mass and strength
• IL6 – messenger molecule that contributes to muscle growth

Athletic Power – Variants affecting power:

• ACTN3 – the “sprinter” gene
• AGT – blood pressure regulation and growth hormone levels

Motivation, Recovery, Injury Risk & Pain Tolerance – Variants analyzed:

• BDNF – exercise motivation
• CRP – heart rate recovery
• COL1A1 – risk of soft tissue injury
• COL5A1 – risk of Achilles tendinopathy
• COMT – pain tolerance
