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 ge-netic factors. The main goal of this work was to review the current progress in 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 …

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 …

Endurance performance is a complex phenotype subject to the influence of both
environmental and genetic factors. Although the last decade has seen a variety of specific …

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 …

Together with environment and experience (that is to say, diet and training), the biological
and genetic make-up of an athlete plays a major role in exercise physiology. Sports …

Gully erosion is an environmental problem recognized as one of the worst land degradation
processes worldwide. Insight into regional gully perturbations is required to combat the …

Using the model originally developed by Williams and Folland (J Physiol 586: 113–121,
2008), we determined 1) a “total genotype score”(TGS, from the accumulated combination of …
