After the MetaCheck fitness® the company for me do launched another innovative genetic test in the spring: the MetaCheck POWER®. While MetaCheck fitness® aims to help you lose weight healthily and sustainably using genetic knowledge, the new MetaCheck POWER® is a DNA test for muscle building. Read below to find out exactly how it works and what can be measured with it!
Genetics and our athletic performance
Whether someone is successful in sports - whether in strength training or in endurance sports - can vary greatly from person to person and depends primarily on diet, hormones and also genetic predisposition. For example, the best long-distance runners in the world come from East Africa, while the best sprinters tend to be native to West Africa. The fact that everyone reacts differently to training stimuli is also proven by the scientific study on which MetaCheck POWER® is based.
In the study, scientists had 585 test subjects perform the same training program over 12 weeks and then examined how muscle size and strength changed. Despite the identical training, some of the test subjects achieved extremely different results: Some participants experienced no change at all, while others saw extreme increases in muscle size and strength.
The study thus demonstrates that we react differently to training stimuli, depending on our genetic predisposition. Family and twin studies also provided evidence that athletic performance depends on genetics. So our own genetic predisposition is responsible for how effectively we build muscle. Therefore, you should use this knowledge cleverly to optimize your training and make it more efficient! This is where MetaCheck POWER® can help!
How does MetaCheck POWER® work?
MetaCheck POWER® helps exercisers to carry out the most effective muscle building training possible. The results can be used to optimize training based on the individual's genetic predisposition.
The test provides information about the following:
- Muscle fiber type composition
- Training plan optimization for maximum potential
- Training volume and intensity / optimization of training volume (repetitions) and intensity (weight) during strength training
- Regeneration or recovery phases / Optimization of recovery phases
- Anabolic pathway / activation of protein synthesis / muscle growth
- Caffeine metabolism / performance enhancement
For you as the operator of a fitness or health studio or personal trainer, MetaCheck POWER® does not require a great deal of effort. It works very simply: After your client has given a saliva sample, you send in the sample and receive a DNA analysis including a detailed evaluation. This is how you find out what type of training is best for your customer to build muscle!
