Use your genetic information to prevent injury during exercise.
Personalized, DNA-based recommendations
Understanding how your genetic predispositions influence how your body responds to different types of exercise can help optimize your performance and reduce injury risk.
Injury risk reports are categorized into four groups:
Muscles
Though regular exercise provides tremendous health benefits, it's important to consider injury risks before beginning a training program. For example, your genetics play a major role in your muscles’ response to certain types of exercise.
This group includes information about muscle damage risk, muscle soreness, muscle cramping, and muscle repair.
Joints
Your genetics influence how your tendons, ligaments, and joints are structured. These differences can produce unique joint or muscular vulnerabilities. Awareness of your unique risks can help you protect yourself from injury when implementing an exercise program.
Explore how your genetic variations may influence your injury risk, recovery time, and discomfort during exercise.
Tendons and Ligaments
Your genetics influence how your tendons, ligaments, and joints are structured. These differences can produce unique joint or muscular vulnerabilities. Awareness of your unique risks can help you protect yourself from injury when implementing an exercise program.
Bones and Stress Fracture
Stress fractures are usually caused by repetitive force and overuse. But they can also happen with normal activity, especially with an osteoporosis condition. Understanding your genetic predisposition to stress fracture can help you adjust your exercise load and optimize your bone health care.
