Cordlife Lifestyle Genetic Test: SPORTS
Discover your ideal fitness routine to maximise your potential
This test provides athletes and fitness enthusiasts with information about their athletic performance potential, exercise responsiveness, and risk of injury, enabling them to create customised training regimes and injury prevention strategies.
How does genetics affect my response to exercise?
Genes contain genetic information that serves as the blueprint for the body. Each individual’s appearance, personality, physique, nutrient absorption capacity, and athletic performance are influenced not only by genetic factors but also by gene expression.
By identifying your unique gene sequence and locus variation, you can gain a better understanding of your own physical characteristics, allowing you to develop personalised lifestyle habits and health management strategies.
