Your athletic potential, metabolism, and BMI are largely determined by how often you exercise, the type of training you do, your body type, and how much you enjoy competing in specific sports. Genetic variants have a small impact on your overall fitness and athletic potential and do not guarantee that you will be a better athlete.
Environment and how often you exercise play a large role in athletic and fitness potential. Individual genetic variants play a very small role.
