The impact of genetics on physiology and sports performance is one of the most debated
research aspects in sports sciences. Nearly 200 genetic polymorphisms have been found to …

Humans vary in their ability to achieve success in sports, and this variability mostly depends
on genetic factors. The main goal of this work was to review the current progress in the …

The process of strength–power training and the subsequent adaptation is a multi-factorial
process. These factors range from the genetics and morphological characteristics of the …

The ability of skeletal muscles to produce force at a high velocity, which is crucial for success
in power and sprint performance, is strongly influenced by genetics and without the …

Training-intensity distribution (TID), or the intensity of training and its distribution over time,
has been considered an important determinant of the outcome of a training program in elite …

There is compelling evidence that genetic factors influence several phenotype traits related
to physical performance and training response as well as to elite athletic status. Previous …

Elite athlete status is a partially heritable trait, as are many of the underpinning
physiological, anthropometrical, and psychological traits that contribute to elite performance …

Abstract The ACTN3 R577X (rs1815739) genotype has been associated with athletic status
and muscle phenotypes, although not consistently. Our objective was to conduct a meta …

In recent years there has been a great progress in molecular biology techniques, which has
facilitated the researches on influence of genetics on human performance. There are …

We investigated the association of multiple single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with
athlete status and power/speed performance in elite male youth soccer players (ESP) and …
