Description
Are you encountering challenges when it comes to improving your physical fitness?
Your genetic makeup plays a role in your athletic performance, response to physical activity, susceptibility to injuries, and pain tolerance. Through this genetic test, you can create a personalized fitness plan tailored to your genetic profile, allowing you to maximize the benefits of your exercise routine.
Understanding your genetics can help you identify sports in which you may excel and enable you to customize your workout regimen and health goals. It’s worth noting that the genetic variations examined in this panel were predominantly studied in Caucasian populations, and the same associations may not necessarily apply to individuals of other ethnic backgrounds.
