A company in Colorado claims that by testing the ACTN 3 gene they can see if the child is lacking or has an abundance of fast twitch muscle fiber. Fast twitch fibers are used for more explosive movements and strength and less of them promotes more endurance.

At a charge of $160 per child, parents receive a specially designed DNA kit to collect a DNA swab. The swabs are sent back to the company before eventually ending up in an Australian lab. After a few weeks, the results are sent back.


What ever happened to just letting the kids have fun playing different sports and then letting them decide which one they like the best. I do think that studying genes does have a valid purpose in science but pretty soon our life will be without choices. All you will have to do is just test your dna and that will tell you what job to have what sport to play and probably who to marry and how many kids to have.

I have not seen it, but it sure does sound like it has begun.
