The key to Athletic Performance lies in your Genes

Sports genomics is an evidence based scientific discipline that focuses on talent identification and developing personalized interventions for managing exercise training, diet & nutritional need and prevention of exercise-related injuries and diseases based on understanding the genomic profile of athletes.  
Genetic variations and environmental factors play a key role in athletic performance and related phenotypes such as speed, strength, endurance, flexibility, coordination, height, muscle mass, intelligence, personality and other traits. Genetic variations also explain the fact why individuals respond differently to the same training, foods, nutrients and supplements consumed. This holds true for a variety of ages, ethnicities, and level of skill, and whether the goal is optimizing physical activity for health and fitness or for high performance sport.
This makes it crucial for any sports team or athlete to quickly identify genetic strengths and weaknesses and define their health and performance requirements.
