We create more conscious, healthier and better performing athletes!
Understanding Your Genetic Blueprint
Your athletic potential is written in your DNA. The genes you inherit influence how your muscles develop, how your metabolism works and how you react to physical and mental stress. Modern genetic sequencing allows us to read this blueprint and transform it into clear, measurable information. This knowledge confirms or challenges your own perceptions and builds awareness of your unique strengths and weaknesses. It gives you certainty by grounding your self‑assessment in objective science and it allows you and your support team to align training and recovery strategies around a shared data set, bringing clarity and precision to every decision.
How It Works and Why It Matters
When you order a DNAthlete test, you provide a small saliva sample. Our certified laboratory sequences the sample and compares your sports relevant gene segments with our extensive knowledge database. The result is a personalised report that highlights both your genetic advantages and potential limitations. By understanding the probabilities encoded in your genes you can make more conscious lifestyle choices, adjust your training and nutrition to prevent injuries and maintain motivation.
What Makes DNAthlete Unique
DNAthlete was founded by athletes for athletes. Our team combines years of experience in elite sport with the rigour of genetics and data science. We understand what it means to train, compete and recover at the highest level and we translate cutting edge research into practical recommendations that show you exactly where you can unlock untapped potential.
Insights Unlocked by Our Tests
Our analyses reveal more than just raw data. They show how your muscle fibre composition and energy systems influence your performance and how you should design your training and manage your weight. They indicate whether you are predisposed to ligament, tendon, muscle, bone or cartilage injuries so you can take proactive steps to protect yourself. They provide a window into psychological traits such as addiction potential, anxiety and concentration. They uncover intolerances and personal requirements for vitamins and supplements. They highlight predispositions to metabolic and degenerative diseases including diabetes, osteoporosis, asthma and arthrosis. Finally, they identify your natural sleep patterns and how they affect recovery.
Transforming Insights into Action
DNA analysis is not a verdict but a starting point. Every person carries genetic predispositions that express themselves only under certain conditions. A mutation or marker indicates a probability rather than a guarantee. By becoming aware of these probabilities, you can make better decisions to exploit your advantages and mitigate your disadvantages. The report helps you improve performance, control training and competition, avoid injuries and pay attention to health care. You will also learn how to address potential vitamin or mineral deficiencies and use your talents more effectively.
We thoroughly analyze your individual body through various tests.
Our reports facilitate a deeper understanding of your body and enhance your individual performance.

Saliva evaluation and analysis
The saliva test is carefully analyzed by our experts in the lab for specific DNA building blocks. The results are combined with your traits to produce a custom report.
Testing and safety
Every report undergoes a detailed evaluation by our expert team. This guarantees that we take all your personal characteristics into consideration and provide an optimal recommendation. Your personal data is protected with the utmost security measures.
Our Testing Process
The journey begins with a carefully crafted questionnaire that asks about your sport history, body and mindset. By matching this information with your DNA we can draw more accurate conclusions. You then provide a saliva sample using our easy to follow kit. Our experts analyse the sample in the laboratory, looking for specific DNA markers and combining them with your personal data to build a customised report. Every report is reviewed by our specialists to ensure that all relevant factors have been considered. Eight to ten weeks later you receive your report through our secure portal along with the option to discuss the findings with our team.
Data Protection and Privacy
The security of your data is paramount. Our partner laboratory is licensed to perform genetic tests and adheres to strict European data protection standards. Samples are labelled with an encrypted code rather than a name and both personal and genetic data are stored separately. All technical processes are protected by encryption and regularly audited by IT security experts. This means you can explore your genetic potential with confidence, knowing that your privacy is safeguarded at every step.
