2024 Olympics: How Genetic Predicts Athlete Injuries


The “Sport Genomics” project, born from a collaboration between Sbarro Health Research Organization, Rigenera HBW, and Orange Futsal, is an Italian-American initiative aiming at revolutionizing the field of injury prevention in athletes.


Using a simple analysis of a saliva sample, which helps in defining the athlete's genetic passport, it is possible to anticipate potential problems through straightforward nutritional and behavioural adjustments.


This scientific breakthrough, which would allow athletes to prevent injuries through genetic markers is a turning point in sport. Thanks this innovative technique developed by Professor Giordano, Director of the Sbarro Institute for Cancer Research at Temple University of Philadelphia and Professor of Anatomy and Pathological Histology at the University of Siena, it will be possible not only to ensure the health and safety of athletes but also to optimize their athletic performance.


"This new revolutionary approach paves the way for a more advanced and personalized management of athletes, allowing us to maximize the potential of each individual and elevate sport to a higher level of excellence," says  Prof. Giordano.


Many Italian and international football teams, including Napoli, Fiorentina and Real Madrid, are already benefiting from these new scientific advances. Negotiations are also underway for an expansion into the world of basketball.




Professor Antonio Giordano, M.D., Ph.D., is the creator and head of the Sbarro Health Research Organization, located at Temple University's College of Science and Technology in Philadelphia.
