Genetics & physical traits

Understand the genetic side
of physical performance.

Explore inherited associations with physical traits. Put genetic information alongside your training history, measured performance and health.

EPICHECKA genetic perspective
Genetics meets experience.

A closer look
at physical traits.

Discuss the traits that interest you and the evidence available for them. Report coverage is agreed before testing; a topic in genetic research is not a personalised training prescription.

01

Body composition & strength

Associations studied in lean body mass, grip strength and power-related traits. Your actual measurements remain the basis for assessing current ability.

02

Endurance & exercise response

Research on aerobic capacity and responses to exercise. Interpret inherited associations alongside training exposure and measured progress.

03

Recovery & connective tissue

Questions about recovery-related and connective-tissue associations can be discussed where supported by the selected report. They do not predict your next injury or recovery time.

Personalised interpretation

Your training story
still matters.

A report is most useful when its findings are connected to real information: your activity, measurements, goals and health. The conversation should explain the evidence behind a trait, not turn a gene into an instruction.

Genetic results do not establish an ideal workout, select your sport or replace performance testing, coaching or clinical assessment.

Before you begin

Your questions,
answered.

Can this choose my ideal sport or workout?

No. Genetic testing is not established as a way to choose a sport, identify talent or prescribe an optimal workout. A report offers a discussion of selected inherited associations.

Can it predict or prevent injuries?

It cannot reliably predict your next injury or guarantee prevention. Pain, a previous injury or concerns about safe activity require an appropriate professional assessment.

Does it replace fitness testing?

No. Genetics and measured performance answer different questions. Fitness assessments show how you perform now; an inherited association does not measure your current strength or endurance.

Who should help interpret a report?

Ask about the interpretation pathway before ordering. Findings should be discussed with a qualified professional who can assess the evidence alongside your health and training history.
