Do you have what it takes to become a top athlete? Can a DNA test provide a definitive answer? Madelon Baans went in search of the answer for Santé.

Your sports watch or smartwatch communicates with your mobile, an activity tracker measures movement and sleep, there are scales that can measure your entire body and in apps you keep track of how well your training went and what you ate that day. What if not a gadget, but your own body can tell you how to eat to get the best results? If a personal schedule can be put together based on your DNA.
