Why You Should Get Tested

Every athlete’s body performs differently, and your DNA holds the answers to why. The Sports Performance Test helps you understand how your genes influence your endurance, strength, recovery and nutrition response so you can train with precision instead of guesswork.

By getting tested, you can

Discover how your body builds muscle, burns energy and supports recovery

 

Identify your risk of sports-related injuries before they occur

 

Optimise your training intensity, rest cycles and nutrition for your unique biology

 

Understand how your genes affect stamina, focus and performance under pressure

 

Gain insights that help you reach your full athletic potential safely and effectively

 

Genetics is the foundation of performance. Knowing yours helps you train smarter, recover faster and achieve lasting results.

What Are Sports Genes

Sports genes are sections of your DNA that influence how your body performs, adapts and recovers during physical activity. They affect traits such as muscle strength, endurance, oxygen use, energy metabolism and recovery speed.

By analysing these genes, we can understand why some individuals are naturally inclined toward endurance activities while others perform better in power or strength-based training. Your genetic makeup determines how efficiently your muscles work, how your body manages inflammation and how it responds to exercise and nutrition.

Understanding your sports genes allows you to personalise your training, reduce the risk of injury and optimise recovery to reach your full athletic potential.

How We Test Your Genes


Our methodology:


Whole Genome Sequencing.

Whole Genome Sequencing is a scientific method that reads and analyses your complete genetic code to identify variations that may be passed on to future generations.

Every cell in your body contains DNA, which acts as an instruction manual for how your body functions. By examining all three billion letters of your DNA rather than only selected regions, this technology provides a comprehensive view of your genetic makeup.

For carrier screening, it helps detect even rare inherited variants, giving you a clear understanding of your reproductive health and empowering informed decisions for your family’s future.

The Science: Explained

Stories from Those Who Finally Got Answers

We are grateful to everyone who shared their journey with us. Their honesty reminds us why understanding our biology matters, because behind every test result there is a story of someone finally getting the answers they have been looking for.

I’ve always trained hard but never understood why I got exhausted faster than others. The test showed me I recover slower, which actually made everything click. I’ve adjusted my workouts since then and finally stopped burning out.
— Alex D, 30
I took this test just to see if there was anything special about my endurance. It turns out I’m built more for strength than long runs. It sounds small, but it changed how I train and even how I see my body.
— Mia K, 26
After years of trying different diets and workout plans, this helped me understand what really works for me. I’m not guessing anymore. I know how my body responds to food and exercise now, and it’s made training a lot more enjoyable.
— Tom L, 34

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

What does the Sports Performance Genetic Test analyse?

The test examines genes that influence strength, endurance, recovery, and injury risk. It helps you understand how your body responds to different types of exercise and training intensity.

Who can benefit from this test?

Anyone (over 18) interested in improving physical performance, from professional athletes to beginners, can benefit. The results help tailor training, recovery, and nutrition to your unique genetic profile.

How accurate are the results?

The analysis is performed using advanced next generation sequencing technology with high accuracy. All findings are reviewed by certified genetic specialists to ensure reliable interpretation.

What kind of insights will I receive?

Your report includes insights on muscle composition, energy metabolism, exercise recovery rate, tendon and ligament strength, and response to endurance or power training.

How can this test improve my performance?

By understanding your genetic strengths and recovery capacity, you can create a training plan that maximises results, reduces injury risk, and supports long term fitness goals.

How is the sample collected?

The test uses a simple saliva sample, which can be collected easily at home using the instructions provided in the kit.

When should I take and send my sample?

Please collect your sample between Monday and Thursday (Royal Mail). Be sure to return it on the same day using the prepaid return envelope, ideally before midday. Avoid collecting your sample on or near public holidays to prevent delays.

Where can I see my results?

Your results will be automatically uploaded to your secure profile on our app, created using the email address you provided at checkout.
