Exercise Motivation, Recovery, Injury Risk and Pain Tolerance
Some children are inherently motivated to be active, and recover faster, allowing more intense activities. Others are more prone to sports-related injuries or feel more pain.
The DNA Athletics test looks at how your child’s DNA affects the factors involved in tolerance to intense athletic activities such as pain and recovery.
Power versus Endurance
Endurance describes the ability to keep exercising for long periods of time. Power on the other hand refers to the ability to generate a lot of force in a short period of time.
• Will your child be good at endurance activities like running, swimming, basketball or soccer?
• Will (s)he benefit more from power training?

Achieving Excellence
Most children are naturally active and love to move around. But, genetic differences can influence your child’s motivation to be active, how fast his/her body recovers after exercise, the risk of injury and pain tolerance.
Guide your athletically inclined child in the path to excellence by personalizing activities to work with DNA.

FAQ's
Here are the answers to the most frequently asked questions about this test.
No, there is no age limit for testing. All Early Childhood tests can be performed on children of any age, even newborns. The legal guardian has to sign the DNA testing consent form.
DNA is collected by rubbing a brush gently on the inside of your child’s mouth against the cheek for 15 seconds. This collection process is safe and painless.
All test kits are stored at room temperature before and after collecting your child’s DNA samples. Test kits can be stored indefinitely prior to sample collection. But once used, test kits should be returned for testing within 3 months after collection.
Prenatal DNA testing involves more extensive sample collection procedure. SuperGene DNA mouth swab kits can not be used for prenatal testing without a physicians appointment.
If you choose to perform prenatal testing using a CVS (chorionic villus sampling) or an amniotic fluid sample, the first step is to arrange an appointment for amniocentesis or CVS with your physician. Once the appointment is confirmed, please let us know and we will help you initiate a file and send the collection kit directly to your physician.
If you are unable to have a prenatal sample collected, the DNA testing can still be performed on the day of birth using a mouth swab kit.
The Early Childhood test kits include DNA collection instructions, a DNA Test Requisition Form and mouth swabs for one child.
The Eearly Childhood DNA collection kits can be shipped to any country in the world.
Yes, your results are 100% confidential. No one will be able to access your account or your results unless you give them you confidential account login. You can change the password to your account at anytime. Please remember to protect your login information and not share it with anyone.
No, your child’s diet does not affect his or her DNA. Aside from no food and drink for just 15 minutes before collecting your child’s DNAs sample, there are no restrictions on his or her dietary intake.
