This is a real FitnessGenes trait report. Every one of your 180+ reports follows the same structure — your result, the science behind it, and the actions that follow.
Musculoskeletal soft tissue injury risk (COL5A1)
Download ReportYour gene variants are linked to a slightly higher risk of soft tissue injury.
Do your genes make you more prone to sports injuries?
An estimated 100 million people worldwide experience an exercise-related soft tissue injury each year. Training volume is one obvious risk factor — elite athletes, for example, have a 5× higher rate of Achilles tendinopathy. But did you know your genetics also play a significant role?
In this trait we look at variants of your COL5A1 gene, widely linked to the risk of musculoskeletal soft tissue injuries — ligament tears, tendon rupture and Achilles tendinopathy.
Insights
Actions
Include at least 2 days of strength training each week
Strength training helps maintain healthy tendons and ligaments — especially important for reducing injury risk if you do lots of cardiovascular exercise.
Add plyometrics like box jumps & lateral hops
Plyometric training has been shown to reduce injuries through neuromuscular adaptation. Getting your landing mechanics right is key.
