Abstract

Individuals’ characteristics are different, therefore we need personalized sports nutrition programs. Modern sports nutrition programs should analyze multi-dimensional data such as genetic information, clinical manifestations (e.g., gender, age, health status, family history, diet preference, food tolerance and allergens), biometric data, and sports ability to improve health and sports performance. Revealing the genetic and biological mechanism of human sports ability at the molecular level has made some remarkable achievements in the fields of sports nutrition supplementation, sports injury prevention, sports performance improvement, etc. Wearable devices such as smart watches are broadly used to monitor the biometric data of users. In this paper, we first introduce the development of wearable devices, and describe the genetic factors affecting sports and nutrition, then we summarize the physiological indicators could be collected by wearable devices and discuss the indicators suitable for application in the field of personalized nutrition. Further, we demonstrate our sports genetic testing service. Combing genetic testing data, wearable device data, and lifestyle data, finally, we give our personalized sports and nutrition solution, which can improve individual’s sports effect and health effectively.
