Athletic Genomics

Meaning

Athletic Genomics is the specialized field of study that analyzes an individual’s genetic profile to understand how specific gene variants influence athletic performance, injury risk, and recovery capacity. This discipline provides a molecular blueprint for tailoring training, nutrition, and recovery protocols to an athlete’s unique biological predispositions. In the context of hormonal health, it offers insights into genetic polymorphisms that affect hormone receptor sensitivity, stress response (cortisol), and muscle growth pathways (IGF-1).
