Millions of people globally are interested in understanding how their genes impact their health, nutrition, fitness potential, and risk of injury. The direct-to-consumer genetic testing market is projected to reach $8.8 billion by 2030, with North America currently leading the market share. Genetic testing is being used in sports performance and injury risk assessment. However, some experts believe there is too much hype and limited scientific evidence to support these tests.

Despite concerns, DNA fitness tests still intrigue many individuals and have the potential to provide personalized advice and help identify strengths and weaknesses.
