Episode description
Genetic testing in sport has emerged as a cost-effective and accessible tool to identify an individual's potential for sporting performance, trainability, optimal exercise selection, recovery strategies and injury risks.
But just how strong is the evidence behind this practice? What are the risks and rewards? And to what extent is this growing industry being regulated - if at all?
On this episode, host Sam Robertson is joined by Professor Nir Eynon and Dr Shanie Landen to discuss the merits and pitfalls of this fast-growing space.
