CyGene Laboratories, Inc., A South Florida Genetics Company, Creates DNA Testing for the Masses, to Determine What Form of Exercise Works Best for ``You''

Posted on: Wednesday, 21 June 2006, 12:00 CDT

Imagine a world where one small analysis can establish how to look and perform your best. A futuristic test that can help determine which form of exercise will make you look you're slimmest and perform your best at sports. A revolutionary assessment of how to lose weight through exercise, and keep it off -- making your inexhaustible 'battle of the bulge' end permanently. Fortunately, new scientific advances have transformed conventional ways of assessing fitness, allowing for better faster results through diet and exercise.

CyGene Laboratories, Inc., (OTC:CYGE) a company based in Coral Springs, Florida, has developed a remarkable new DNA test called the "Optimum Athletic Performance DNA Analysis," which is designed to determine what form of training, based on an individual's DNA predisposes them to a better results-oriented work-out.

Recent scientific evidence suggests that a number of genes play a role in athletic performance, and that muscle growth, cardiac output and other factors influence the physical performance associated with these different genes carried by all individuals.

This amazingly insightful analysis concludes whether endurance or speed athletics are individually a better form of exercise, and in turn, help the exerciser focus on how to maximize their work-out for the best possible outcome. In addition, this analysis can determine the potential for sports related injury, by testing bone strength and neurological pre-dispositions.

"Athletes could soon have their training program and diet optimised for peak performance and minimal injuries based on their individual genetics," says Professor Mark Hargreaves, from the Physiology Department at the University of Melbourne, Australia, and the Chair of the Sports Meets Science Forum. Designing an exercise regimen best suited to an individual is currently based on trial and error. "You can give the same exercise program to 700 individuals and get a very divergent response. The new tools of molecular biology are giving us greater insight into a person's physiology."

CyGene has made this DNA test easily available for everyone. The test is anonymous, ensuring confidentiality, and it can be purchased at the low price of $99.95 online at http://www.cygenedirect.com. There is no need to enter a doctor's office or a testing center. A home test kit is delivered to your door, and includes a cheek swab which can be easily mailed back to CyGene's laboratories. Accessing the results is equally as simple and is done through a personalized online report which contains interpretations of individual genes, including potential risks, follow-ups, and recommendations.
