GENOMUSCLE: Muscle Damage

Regular high levels of training and competition pave the way for athletes to be highly susceptible to injury. Recent studies for the personalization of athlete training programs have identified genetic markers associated with risk traits in muscle damage and post-injury recovery. The use of genetic information obtained through the study of 16 Gene variations within the scope of GENOMUSCLE can contribute to the development of genotype-based utilities for the muscle damage prevention and recovery process that are individually tailored for athletes, and the aforementioned data can provide a new advantage in terms of successful competition.

Analysis reports are prepared by interpreting the genotypic susceptibility/risk factors related to the following topics.

• Inflammatory properties of muscle
• susceptibility to muscle damage
• Recovery process after muscle injury
• Muscle and fiber composition
• Ligament structures and healing potential
