Genetic Testing for Athletes, Health, Longevity: Thomas Roos, AISTS
If you've ever given up on something because you thought you didn’t have the predisposition, you should listen to this episode.
From sports genomics to genetic-based training.
Can genes predict sports performance? And injuries in athletes?
What is the contribution of genes to sports performance? We're speaking percentages.
Can some athletes be too gifted?
Can you predict a child’s talent by analyzing their genes?
We’ll also be speaking about
- multiomics: genomics, genetics, proteomics, metabolomics, microbiome
- genetic testing for athletes, rare diseases, and longevity
- identical twins research
- althletes such as LeBron James, Michael Phelps, and Imane Khelif
My guest, Thomas Roos, is a sports genetics and genetic epidemiology scientist, entrepreneur, a retired professional triathlete, and an identical twin. He studied at Stanford University School of Medicine and has conducted research as part of multiple international consortiums.
AISTS or International Academy of Sports Science and Technology, where we’re speaking, was founded by the International Olympic Committee. It brings together experts in medicine, technology, management, economics, law, and sociology.
There’s loads to cover in this episode.
