I mean, look at this (from a random site that came up when I googled "genetic test exercise") Some of these are obviously genetically predictive (i.e. coeliac disease), but what even is "aerobic trainability"???pic.twitter.com/ut4YZJMX6p

But even better, the groups WEREN'T RANDOM. This is actually brilliant, because it shows how finicky trials can be The study groups were randomized to two INTERVENTIONS - either high or low intensity training
But the analysis variable is genetic testing. So actually what the researchers did was take their nice, randomized groups, and destroy them This is never mentioned in the study, but is a significant limitation
Anyway, these are two of the BETTER genetic testing studies because at least they trialled some kind of intervention Mostly you just see a big predictive algorithm built on white guys and some fairy fluff
It's amazing how much of genetic testing, outside of specific diseases and direct ancestry (parents, cousins etc) is just "hey look these genes correlate with that expression LET'S ASSUME CAUSATION THAT'S A GREAT IDEA"
