Sports Gene Llc was established in 2011 by the scientists and entrepreneurs in Tartu, Estonia. The purpose of the company consists in performing various genetic tests and consultations regarding exercise and improved quality of life. We started in 2013 with genetic tests for determining inherent athletic abilities and genetic factors affecting body weight. We continued by providing training and nutrition consultations based on individual genetic and physical predisposition. Since 2014, our services include food intolerance test and compilation of meal plans. The cooperation partners of Sports Gene Llc include various sports clubs, clinics, nutritionists, SPA hotels, and pharmacies, both in Estonia and neighbouring countries.
It is very easy to order a genetic test! Start by taking a DNA sample. For that purpose, rub the inside of your cheek with a sterile cotton swab, let it dry and then mail the sample to us. The results will be available within fourteen working days. View the sampling instructions video here.
"The weight management test helps me to prepare a well-considered and efficient exercise plan by incorporating a diet customised to my genes. The test of athletic abilities gives information about my energy supply and the best ways to restore it. This is crucial information for any top athlete, including me."
Grit Šadeiko
"I entered the world of fitness a few years ago. No coach or sports physician had faith in my abilities. However, by today I have completed half distance triathlon along with several running, roller-skating, and ski marathons. There is no doubt that great achievements build on motivation and training, but it takes even more than that to succeed. My assumptions were confirmed by the test of athletic abilities, which revealed that I have considerable predisposition to engage in both endurance and power sports. I gained further new information from the results of the genetic test for weight management, which described my probability of becoming obese, potential diseases incidental to it, and recommended level of exercise necessary to stay fit."
