Sports Injury Genetic Test

“Every day, more athletes go beyond and what motivates us is overcome us, compete and seek our limits, which is causing an increased incidence and severity of acute and chronic injuries due to sports.”

This increase of sports injuries has not gone unnoticed by the European Community which has already conducted several studies in this respect and is beginning to make awareness-raising campaigns to enable athletes to perform their physical activity addressed and personalized. Only in Europe, more than 2.5 million of non-contact sport injuries are produced each year, which represents a serious economic and social problem.

At SM Genomics, we believe that prevention and proactive actions focused on personalizing physical activity and rehabilitation are essential to reduce the risk of injury and better recovery. This is the reason we offer to sports amateur market our Sports Injury Genetic Test (SIGT), genetic analysis developed and validated in professional athletes that explores 17 genetic changes (polymorphisms or SNPs) related to:

Predisposition to suffer injuries

Recovery Times

Injuries Severity

Benefits: less injuries, performance increase and better health

Know in advance our predisposition to suffer injuries, recovery time guidance and injuries severity, allow us to act in the following topics:

Personalise workloads & intensity

Reinforce tissue and weak areas

Rating return times

Vitamins/Nutrients supplementation

Genes analysed in the SIGT

Purchase, saliva collection and results

Purchase

Start the buying process by contacting us.

Collection Kit Shipment

Once we receive payment confirmation we send the Collection Kit the indicated address.

Saliva sample collection

You must follow the instructions detailed on the inside of the Kit cover.

Kit pick-up

Contact the transport agency directly or write to customer@smgenomics.com to pick up the kit with your saliva sample.

Genetic analysis

Once we receive your saliva sample, we will proceed to the genetic analysis. You must complete the sports questionnaire from your intranet session.

Results and Recommendations

In 3-4 weeks you will be able to download the report with the results and recommendations from your intranet session.

Collection Kit content

Our genetic tests are performed using saliva sample. SM Genomics has designed its own Collection Kit that contains:

Sterile Swab

Ideal for safe and easy removal of saliva through buccal rubbing. It contains stabilizer liquid that keeps DNA for 60 days at room temperature. Cap with thread for a better seal. See video.

Informed Consent

In order to perform any of pur genetic tests it is mandatory to return us the Informed Consent completed and signed.

ID Code Labels

Labels that must be adhered to the saliva collection tube and consent sheet to ensure correct traceability.

Plastic bag for biological samples

Special bag for the transport of biological samples such as saliva.
