Athleticogenomics & Athletics+
Athletics+
Athletics+ provides a comprehensive explanation of how good training can increase athletic performance. An explanation is provided for all sections of the Athleticogenomics-report on how these traits can influence sports performance and the physiology behind these principles.
In addition, your genetic profile describes how it influences your physical characteristics and how you could set up or optimize your training schedule to maximize performance.
Athleticogenomics
Het Athleticogenomics-rapport geeft inzicht in verschillende genetische eigenschappen die jouw sportprestaties kunnen beïnvloeden. In het geval van sport wordt een genetische aanleg voor goede prestaties ook wel ‘talent’ genoemd, maar ook een inzicht in de aspecten waar je juist genetisch gezien minder aanleg voor hebt kunnen leiden tot prestatieverbetering.
Door jouw training aan te passen op jouw genetische aanleg voor specifieke aspecten kan je de training en in het verlengde daarvan de prestaties optimaliseren.
Strength versus endurance sport
The inventory of the genetic predisposition to strength or endurance sports identifies various aspects associated with outstanding performance in athletes.
Twelve different genetic variants are analyzed that influence oxygen uptake, lactate threshold, muscle type and recovery capacity during exercise.
Oxygen uptake
The oxygen uptake is particularly important for endurance athletes in particular for achieving good performance and is expressed in the VO2max, the measure of the maximum oxygen uptake per minute.
A genetic predisposition to a high VO2max allows an endurance athlete to perform in an energy-efficient manner for a longer period of time, reaching maximum speed. good will come.
Lactate Threshold
The moment when the body through great exertion has to lay claim to the lactate system as energy supply, with the production of lactic acid as a by-product, is called the lactate threshold.
Lactic acid is harmful to the muscles and has a negative influence on sports performance. The higher the lactate threshold, the longer and more intensively an athlete can perform.
The genetic predisposition for a high lactate threshold can be a good reason to train specifically to get it as high as possible.
Muscle type
Each muscle is made up of fast and slow muscle fibers, with the ratio between the two causing an increased predisposition for strength or endurance sports.
The ratio between these two muscle fiber types in your body is largely genetically determined. Targeted training can stimulate one of the two subtypes of fast muscle fibers and thus optimize the ratio for the sport you practice.
Injury susceptibility
Injuries can be a major hurdle to performance improvement and it is absolutely true that prevention is better than cure.
Genetic variants in the genes encoding the connective tissue that make up tendons have been associated with an increased risk of tendon injuries.
Preventing injuries is important for everyone, but for people with an increased genetic risk it is extra important to be alert and to organize the training properly, such as with a thorough warming -up.
Caffeine as a stimulant
Caffeine can be used as a stimulant in various sports performances. The optimal dosage, whereby the performance improves to the maximum and the possible negative effects of caffeine do not yet occur, is different for everyone.
Insight in your genetic predisposition to caffeine breakdown can help determine the optimal dosage.
Metabolism
How does your body react when you suddenly start moving much less after a heavy training program?
When you exercise a lot and intensively, the body has a large energy requirement. If the frequency and/or intensity of exercise decreases, the energy requirement is lower.
One body will feel a change with this change. store more of the energy that comes in through the diet as fats than the other, with genetics playing a role.
Mentally
Sports not only has an obvious physical aspect, but also an important mental component. What does sport do to you? An important part of this is learned, but there is also a genetic variable in it.
The willingness to exercise and the feeling that you have been partly genetically determined after exercise. This means that sports may always feel like an obligation to you, or that you are addicted to sports and the feeling it gives you, where overload is lurking.
