Top Training and Talent
Functional training and performance optimization.
The Top Training and Talent Fitness Check up modules allow a clear, defined, and scientific path to be charted with the goal of dramatically reducing the likelihood of going down with bone, cartilage, tendon, ligament, and muscle injuries.
Many athletes train without ever thinking about preventing injuries. They live in the mistaken belief that it will never happen to them or that, if it does, all they need to do is see a therapist to resolve them in no time. Training, on the other hand, is a very complex process that must be carried out professionally, a path in which all information about one's body is to be considered valuable. It is not just a matter of timing, breath or performance, it also requires an understanding of the possible risks an athlete faces when practicing his or her discipline.
The study of DNA makes it possible to identify with simplicity and on a strictly scientific basis the limits and potential of a person practicing sports, but above all to support him or her on a path that aims to achieve an optimum of performance while reducing the possibility of traumatic and non-traumatic injuries. It also makes it possible to assess on a scientific basis the main characteristics related to performance: muscle fiber type (type I and II), muscle proteins (e.g., myoglobin, myostatin), secretion of growth factors (somatomedin), dynamism of muscle contraction (e.g., alpha-actinin), vascular tone (e.g., angiotensin, nitric oxide), potential anaerobic threshold, lactate metabolism, bradykinin, and nuclear hormone receptors (e.g., PPAR).
Consistently practiced sports, whether for passion or purely competitive, require training and dedication. Researching the effects of a genetic variant on a complex and environmentally influential character such as sports performance is extremely complicated; in fact, it is referred to as a "polygenic trait." However, numerous works have shown that genetically determinable physiological parameters exert a direct influence on performance.
This module is essential to understand which sport best suits one's morphological, anthropometric, physiological, functional, and motor characteristics on a genetic basis.
