Genetic Testing for Sport Talent Identification

Bottom Line - it's not reliable and has a long way to go - not in your lifetime.
http://www.multibriefs.com/briefs/acsm/active9-20.htm

Can I just say - What is wrong here? People get a grip!!! I've been in this fitness industry for close to 20 years and I just have to say there's so much more than genetics - DUH!!!! I mean if you're healthy and you can move your body then you can train and you can practice and you can improve - there's no shortcut, there's no magic pill and if there is - what do you think the consequences are? I'm so tired of people wanting the instant results without doing any practice, why is fitness and health any different than any other skill? WAKE UP PEOPLE - DON'T BELIEVE THE FRICKIN HYPE - GET A GRIP!

What about the 10,000 hour / 10 year rule? What about practicing and moving so that the body and mind learn together and wire together? Plus, lots of other factors environmental, lifestyle etc. that go into making a person good at what they do.
