What your report covers

Your report looks at 51 markers across 29 fitness-related traits. We group them into five simple areas so you can see what your genes may say about training, recovery, and injury risk. You do not have to act on all of it. Most people start with the one or two areas that matter most to their goals.

Power & strength

How your genes may relate to fast, forceful movement and strength gains. This area includes the well-studied ACTN3 power gene.

Frequently asked questions

How many genetic insights are included?

Over 50 genetic insights related to performance, recovery, and injury risk.

Is a genetic test kit included?

No. This is a digital add-on report that uses existing PlexusDx DNA data.

How soon will my report be available?

Typically within moments of purchase. Availability outside business hours may take longer.

Can I purchase this without a PlexusDx genetic test?

No. A completed PlexusDx genetic test is required to unlock this report.

What fitness and injury risk factors does this report examine genetically?

This report analyzes 51 genetic variants related to muscle fiber type (ACTN3), endurance and oxygen use (PPARGC1A, ACE), recovery and connective-tissue resilience (COL5A1, MMP3), and how your body responds to training and diet (FTO, PPARG). Use it to help shape training type, volume, and recovery, not as medical advice.
