Many athletes would like to have more insight into their exercise intensity. How long can you maintain a certain effort? The speed of waste disposal is important in this regard. With our DNA sport test, we provide insight into how quickly your body can remove waste products. And for what degree of intensity you are predisposed.
Muscles need energy for physical exertion. The biochemical processes that provide the energy are also responsible for the formation of waste products in the muscle. If not drained or broken down, they will negatively affect performance. The faster the waste products are removed, the better the performance during extreme exertion and the faster the recovery.
The positive effects of the genes associated with the rapid elimination of waste products are mainly seen with a short maximum effort. This is due to the anaerobic combustion that takes place during this type of exercise, which causes a rapid accumulation of substances that affect the performance of the muscles.
In our Sport DNA test we investigate two genes that partly determine your predisposition for exercise intensity:
rs1208 : NAT2 – Ensures the removal of waste products from the muscles In your genetic profile we indicate whether you have a predisposition for a (slightly) increased speed of the removal of waste products. We also indicate the type of exercise you have a talent for.
