Genetics testing for athletes.
By taking a simple at genetics test, you can determine any health risks with working out and maximize your potential. The test costs about $200 dollars but can essentially save your life. The test will enable you to understand how to maximize your strength, power, and endurance. The test will also tell you how long you need to rest after a concussion and the chances of cardiac risk factors and other potential hazards. Companies are trying to reach out to parents with children in sports. If they have their child tested they can prevent or be aware of any potential problems. There has been a known history of children and teenagers dropping dead in the middle of playing sports. This genetics test is hoping to prevent that from happening. The testing is done by a company called AI Bio Tech.

ReplyDeleteI see this being utilized more on the professional level than in everyday use.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like an absolutely amazing test when it becomes slightly more affordable and available to the average athlete or even non-athlete. In the future these kinds of tests could be used to help obese people lose weight or to help maximize the effectiveness of up and coming athletes to get them one step closer to the professional level.
ReplyDeleteThis is a good start to using technology to help children better their health and know whats wrong with them. Does not really have to be for child athletes since health should be important for everyone. I can understand why they would market to parents with child athletes.
