Athletic Performance, Muscle & Recovery
How your genes shape muscle type, mitochondrial capacity, recovery, and exercise response.
This report may be useful if you experience any of these symptoms:
Every athletic phenotype is genes plus training plus recovery. The genes in this report set your starting biases - whether you are wired more for power or endurance, how much mitochondrial capacity you can build per training week, how robustly your vessels open and your heart responds, how cleanly you burn fat during long efforts, how you defend against oxidative stress, and how quickly you bounce back. None of these is a verdict; they are a map of where the highest-leverage interventions live for you.
- Naturally drawn to sprint, power, or strength sports
- Naturally drawn to endurance, distance, or aerobic sports
- Slow recovery between hard training sessions
- Persistently sore for 3+ days after a hard session
- Strong response to creatine, caffeine, or pre-workout
- Little or no response to ergogenic supplements
- Exercise intolerance, can't get fit despite consistent training
- Easy fatigue at altitude
- Exercise-induced asthma or bronchospasm
- Hypertension, especially with hard training
- Slow heart rate recovery after intense efforts
- Cold hands and feet during long sessions
- Dark or red urine after long, hard, or fasted exercise
- Severe muscle pain after eccentric or downhill work
- Episodes of muscle weakness after high-carb meals
- Family history of malignant hyperthermia or anesthesia reaction
- Family history of sudden cardiac death or unexplained syncope
- Cramping during long sessions despite electrolytes
- Better performance fed vs fasted (or vice versa)
- Chronic mild inflammation, joint aches with training
- Tendency to overtrain or symptoms of overtraining
- Poor sleep after hard training sessions
- Asthma worsens with chronic short-acting inhaler use
- Indigenous Arctic or Northern ancestry (CPT1A relevant)
Worth knowing: Dark or red urine after exercise, exercise-triggered syncope, family history of malignant hyperthermia, or known fatty-acid oxidation disorders require medical evaluation - not training adjustments alone.

This report is for educational purposes only and is not medical advice. It does not diagnose any condition or replace cardiology or metabolic-genetics evaluation. Dark urine after exercise, syncope during or after exertion, malignant hyperthermia in the family, or known fatty-acid oxidation disorders require physician evaluation.
