How does your genetics affect sport? – Athletes, nutritionists, trainers, experts and simply passionate about wellness and exercise have sought to attack all facets of body conditioning in sport.
We know that diet is fundamental, what our body eats determines much of our performance for everything. Variables such as hours spent training, supplements, and more abstract factors can also be added.
However, there is a less tangible component that determines much of your future as an athlete: genetics.

Food: your genes make the way you assimilate nutrients unique.
Breathing: each human being has a different lung capacity when it comes to doing sports.
Cardio: one of the systems that can be seen most threatened by sports practice, it is already predisposed by your sports capacity
