Over the last couple of decades, research has focused on attempting to understand the
genetic influence on sports performance. This has led to the identification of a number of …

A common null polymorphism (rs1815739; R577X) in the gene that codes for α-actinin-3
(ACTN3) has been related to different aspects of exercise performance. Individuals who are …

Genetic factors play a significant role in athletic performance and its related phenotypes
such as power, strength and aerobic capacity. In this regard, the lack of a muscle protein due …

The p. R577X polymorphism (rs1815739) in the ACTN3 gene causes individuals with the XX
genotype to be deficient in functional α-actinin-3. Previous investigations have found that XX …

Muscle damage induced by exercise may have several consequences such as delayed-
onset muscle soreness, a side-effect of the release of free radicals during oxidative stress …

A common single nucleotide polymorphism in the ACTN3 gene might result in the complete
deficiency of α-actinin-3 (ie, XX genotype). It has been found that ACTN3 XX individuals …

Background: Homozygosity for the X-allele in the ACTN3 R577X (rs1815739) polymorphism
results in the complete absence of α-actinin-3 in sarcomeres of fast-type muscle fibers. In …

As the analysis of big datasets in sports performance becomes a more entrenched part of
the sporting landscape, so the value of sport scientists and analysts with formal training in …

Purpose The aim of this study was to review, systematically, evidence concerning the link
between the ACTN3 R577X polymorphism and the rates and severity of non-contact injuries …

Over the last decade, there has been considerable interest in the individualisation of athlete
training, including the use of genetic information, alongside more advanced data capture …
