If you’re DNA indicated that you lean strongly towards power sports, you can train yourself through high-intensity training programs such as substantial weight lifting programs such as deadlifts and bench presses, which help in rejuvenating your cardiovascular system.
Power training can also include exercise circuits that include pushups, squats, lunges, and burpees, which work up various sectors of your muscular system, strengthens your balance and improves your physical coordination. You can do short laps of sprinting and swimming, which will help with fresher blood flow and better aerobic capacity.
Hi Laura
I totally know 100% athletic ability is something we are born with.
I am adopted and had a love of tennis and was very good at it naturally which I found out came from from my Mother’s side
On a sie note music came from her as well.
A fabulous article and I wish you all the best
So glad I get notifications
Hi Vicki, Yes, isn’t it incredible how we inherit traits, but it is not always an environment that develops it. Now it does play a role, but our genes are huge in who we are.

Hi Laura,
Well, this is an interesting topic. I see science has already answered this question according to what I read, and I believe it personally. What I do wonder is if one parent is very physical while the other is not. What part does the child get? It looks like I have to go to your other post to find out more. It is bookmarked for now. I do wonder though how environmental factors can add to, or subtract from the DNA received from the parents. My father was a very physically active man, and so was his side of the family. My mother and her ancestors seemed to be less physically active. I do believe DNA does play a massive role in the type of person you turn out to be. I have four sisters and one brother, and I do think the physical aspect of DNA was handed d to me through my dad. A very thought-provoking article, and I will be looking forward to reading about the 65 super interesting facts about DNA.
Best wishes,
Michael
Hi Michael, Thanks for dropping by. I am going to address the effects of the environment on your DNA. You may have received the gene from your dad that gives you motivation and increased activity. Still, if your parents discouraged this type of behavior, that would be an environmental influence. You would not have the support of your parents, and because of this may not have the motivation to work hard. Also, 99.9% of your DNA is like everyone else’s, and only 0.1% is unique to only you. An interesting fact from the “65 facts about DNA,” which is #38.
Thanks for sharing this excellent post. A gene is the basic physical and functional unit of heredity, so yes, athletics can be encoded in our DNA if and only if there is a trait in the family history. If your DNA indicated that you lean strongly towards power sports, you could train yourself through high-intensity training programs such as substantial weight lifting programs such as deadlifts and bench presses, which help in rejuvenating your cardiovascular system. Genes carry codes of information. I’d recommend this article for anyone who wants to be an athlete.
You are right; athletic performance is encoded in our DNA. If a person had the right DNA to be an endurance trainer, but they did not want to do it, then they would not be the right person for competition. At the same time, if someone is a keen athlete and their DNA says they are not, do they quit? No, because they have the desire and the integrity to keep going.
That’s a great article. I must say that Athletic performance is encoded in my DNA, but it is your article that has made me realize that Athletic performance is encoded in my DNA. I love weight lifting. I am going to do the DNA test. I want to have more knowledge about my DNA and the nutrition that suites me best. Thanks so much for this! I found your article so useful.
Thank you. I am so happy you found value here that will help. Once we get your DNA results back, I will go over the results with you. I am sure you are as excited as I was when I had my testing done. I will be in touch with you soon.
