DNA-Custom Development Plans

Procedure for DNA-Based Health and Development Plans for Football Players

Step 1: Client Onboarding

• Initial Meeting: Discuss goals, training habits, and collect genetic test results.
• Consent and Agreement: Ensure understanding of data use; sign consent.

Step 2: Genetic Data Analysis

• Key Insights:
  • Performance: ACTN3 (muscle composition), PPARGC1A (endurance potential).
  • Injury Risk: COL5A1, COL1A1 (tendon health), GDF5 (joint health).
  • Nutrition: MTHFR (folate metabolism), FTO (fat response), CYP1A2 (caffeine metabolism).
  • Recovery: IL6 (inflammation), COMT (stress resilience).
• Summary Report: Practical, actionable recommendations.

Step 3: Plan Development

• Custom Training: Tailored to genetic strengths (e.g., sprint vs. endurance drills).
• Diet & Nutrition: Personalized meal plans addressing genetic markers.
• Injury Prevention: Targeted exercises and recovery protocols.
• Mental Development: Stress and focus techniques.

Step 4: Plan Delivery

• Presentation: Explain the plan with a user-friendly guide.
• Resources: Provide trackers, templates, and schedules.

Step 5: Implementation and Monitoring

• Initial Support: Help the player start and adjust as needed.
• Regular Check-Ins: Evaluate and tweak every 4–6 weeks.

Step 6: Long-Term Development

• Reassessment: Update plans every 6–12 months.
• Ongoing Support: Provide consultations and motivation.
