Test results

Research within the field of sports genetics has been prolific, with an increasing number of studies yielding fascinating results:

• 90% of elite rowers were found to be carriers of the same genetic variant
• 80% of Russian endurance athletes has a specific variant in common
• 66% of elite endurance athletes were found to be carriers of 8 or more “endurance-related” genes

Knowledge of how you are likely to respond to specific exercise training, can help you choose the bets training for you to reach optimal performance.
