About Atlas Sports Genetics
By Dr. David Edward Marcinko; MBA, CMP™
[Publisher-in-Chief]
Did you know that for about $150 bucks, Atlas Sports Genetics [ASG], a company in Boulder CO, offers a DNA test kit to evaluate actinin; a protein found in fast-twitch muscle fibers? Yep; it’s true!
About ASG
ATLAS™ stands for Athletic Talent Laboratory Analysis System and is a leading edge athletic talent identification test that uses enhanced DNA analysis to identify those athletes that are genetically predisposed to either speed/power or endurance characteristics. Through the analysis of a specific DNA gene called ACTN3, the SportGene® Test developed by Genetic Technologies in Australia, is now available in the United States through Atlas Sports Genetics.
The Kit
Using a cheek swab sent to the lab, a report on the gene ACTN3 is received by mail several weeks later. The test is touted to be helpful in determining the best sport, or prefect athletic career, for participants. And, it is highly sought after by helicopter parents wishing to pursue a college scholarship or sports contract for junior [i.e., marathoner versus sprinter, etc].

How did I learn about all this? Why, from an USOEC parent of course, during my travels to Upper Michigan. And me? I’ve been a middle distance runner for 35 years; even with a dislocated finger! LSD anyone; long-slow-distance.
About Off Road with Dr. Marcinko
These sporadic off-road segments will continue through-out my 2009 summer promotional tour. On the one hand, formal attendance at several engagements was a bit sparse because of the death of several recent celebrities and entertainer types. On the other hand, local book stores and sponsors noted a spike in our CD and book sales, as well as interest in our online www.CertifiedMedicalPlanner.com program and premier quarterly guide: Healthcare Organizations [Journal of Financial Management Strategies] www.HealthcareFinancials.com
