Understanding the genetic architecture of athletic performance is an important step in the
development of methods for talent identification in sport. Research concerned with …

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 …

Sports genomics is the scientific discipline that focuses on the organization and function of
the genome in elite athletes, and aims to develop molecular methods for talent identification …

Phenotypes of athletic performance and exercise capacity are complex traits influenced by
both genetic and environmental factors. This update on the panel of genetic markers (DNA …

Using the model originally developed by Williams and Folland (J Physiol 586: 113–121,
