Scientists have identified several genes that may play a role in determining strength, speed and other aspects of athletic performance. A handful of companies (e. g. , athletigen, 23andme) are selling kits that assesses genetic markers for athletic excellence. Kit consists of two swabs to scrape cells from the inside of the cheek: customers return the used swabs to the company and receive an analysis several days later. Researchers found that these tests are completely meaningless for predication and/or optimization of sport performance. Problems: lack of clarity of genes being tested, lack of genetic counselling.
