What’s Analyzed
[ 95+ Genes · 6 Pillars ]Every elite athlete has a genetic advantage they may not even know exists. GeneSport maps your entire performance genome — all 6 pillars of athletic performance in one actionable profile.
Power & Strength
Your exact muscle fiber composition, your genetic ceiling for explosive power, and whether you’re primed for sprint sports, powerlifting, or combat disciplines.
Endurance & VO2 Max
Your genetic VO2 Max ceiling, whether you respond better to high-volume miles or high-intensity intervals, and your optimal training zones.
Recovery & Repair
Your inflammatory response after heavy sessions, your optimal rest intervals, and whether you’re genetically prone to overtraining syndrome.
Injury Risk & Prevention
Your tendon and ligament susceptibility score, bone stress fracture risk, and which movement patterns pose the highest risk for you.
Sports Nutrition
Your ideal macronutrient ratio for peak output, how you metabolize caffeine, creatine, and ergogenic aids, and your micronutrient deficiency risks.
Mental Performance
Your “warrior” or “worrier” competitor profile, natural focus under pressure, and dopamine-driven competitive drive.
Your body has been trying to tell you something
[ Key Genes + Answers ]Why do I plateau even when I train 5 days a week?
[ You’re working hard — but against your biology ]Most plateaus aren’t a motivation problem. They’re a genetics mismatch. If you’re doing high-volume endurance training but carry ACTN3 power variants, your body is literally wired for shorter, explosive efforts.
Athletes who match their training style to their genetic profile break plateaus 3x faster on average. GeneSport tells you exactly which training style unlocks your genetic potential.
Why do I keep getting injured while others train harder than me?
[ It’s not bad luck — your tendons have a genetic story ]Certain gene variants — particularly in COL5A1 and TNC — create structurally weaker connective tissue. This isn’t a flaw, it’s information. When you know your injury risk profile, you can build specific prehab routines, add targeted collagen nutrition, and adjust your loading patterns before injury ever strikes.
Athletes with COL5A1 risk variants who follow prevention protocols see 52% fewer soft tissue injuries.
Why does my body take forever to recover while my teammates bounce back overnight?
[ Your inflammation gene is working overtime ]Recovery speed is largely genetic. Variants in IL6, TNF, and SOD2 determine how intensely your body’s inflammatory response fires after hard sessions. Some people are fast recoverers by nature. Others need extra recovery days — not because they’re weaker, but because their biology demands it.
42% of competitive athletes are chronically under-recovered because they ignore their genetic recovery demands. GeneSport gives you your exact recovery window.

Their genetics changed everything
[ Verified Results ]“GeneSport revealed I have an ACTN3 RR genotype — pure power athlete genetics. I stopped wasting time on long-distance training and focused on strength and HIIT. My performance improved dramatically in 3 months.”

“I was doing 6 days of high-volume training and kept wondering why my performance was stagnating and I kept tweaking my Achilles. GeneSport literally showed me why. I switched to 4 days of heavy, explosive work with targeted prehab and I hit a 40-pound PR on my clean & jerk within 8 weeks.”

Frequently asked
GeneSport analyzes 95+ genes related to athletic performance, including muscle fiber type, aerobic capacity, recovery speed, injury risk, and nutrient metabolism. By understanding your genetic strengths and limitations, you can optimize your training, nutrition, and recovery strategies to maximize performance and reduce injury risk.
Not at all! GeneSport is valuable for anyone who exercises regularly, from weekend warriors to competitive athletes. Whether you’re training for a marathon, trying to build muscle, or just want to optimize your fitness routine, understanding your genetic profile helps you train more effectively.
GeneSport provides insights into your genetic predispositions for power versus endurance activities, which can guide sport selection. If you have genetic variants associated with fast-twitch muscle fibers, you may excel at sprinting or weightlifting. However, genetics is just one factor — practice and dedication are equally important.
GeneSport analyzes genes related to tendon, ligament, and bone health. If you have genetic variants that increase injury risk, you will receive specific recommendations for injury prevention including targeted strengthening exercises, proper warm-up protocols, recovery strategies, and nutritional support.
Yes. GeneSport analyzes genes affecting metabolism, muscle growth, and fat storage. You will learn whether you respond better to high-intensity or moderate exercise, your optimal macronutrient ratios, and how your body builds and maintains muscle.
Absolutely. Many athletes share their GeneSport results with coaches, trainers, and sports nutritionists. The report is designed to be actionable for fitness professionals and includes specific training and nutrition recommendations.
