Your Power Advantage

Strength

ACTN3 R577X variant detected — you carry the "sprint gene" associated with fast-twitch muscle fibers. Ideal for explosive, power-based activities.

Recovery Optimization

Recovery

IL6 variant suggests elevated inflammatory response post-exercise. Recommended: anti-inflammatory nutrition protocol and extended cool-down periods.

Injury Prevention Alert

Prevention

COL5A1 variant indicates higher susceptibility to tendon injuries. Recommended: targeted eccentric strengthening and collagen supplementation.

Nutrition Blueprint

Nutrition

FTO and PPARG variants suggest optimal performance on a higher-protein, moderate-carb diet with emphasis on omega-3 fatty acids.

Recommendations

Power & Strength

ACTN3
Variant: R577X
RS ID: rs1815739
Genotype: R/X
Moderate Impact
Heterozygous for alpha-actinin-3 deficiency. You carry one copy of the X allele, resulting in reduced but not absent fast-twitch muscle fiber protein. This gives you a balanced profile suitable for both power and endurance activities.
Recommendation
Incorporate both explosive power training (plyometrics, sprints) and endurance work. Your mixed fiber type responds well to periodized training alternating between strength and endurance phases.
ACE
Variant: I/D Polymorphism
RS ID: rs4340
Genotype: I/D
Low Impact
Heterozygous ACE genotype providing balanced angiotensin-converting enzyme activity. This intermediate profile supports both strength and endurance adaptations equally.
Recommendation
Train across multiple modalities. Your genetics support versatile athletic development. Focus on compound movements for strength and moderate-duration cardio for endurance.
AGT
Variant: M235T
RS ID: rs699
Genotype: M/T
Low Impact
Intermediate angiotensinogen levels supporting normal blood pressure regulation during high-intensity exercise. No significant impact on power output.
Recommendation
Standard progressive overload training is appropriate. Monitor blood pressure during maximal efforts as a precaution.
