Human skeletal muscle demonstrates remarkable plasticity, adapting to numerous external
stimuli including the habitual level of contractile loading. Accordingly, muscle function and …

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 …

Specificity is a core principle of exercise training to promote the desired adaptations for
maximising athletic performance. The principle of specificity of adaptation is underpinned by …

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 …

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 general consensus among sport and exercise genetics researchers is that genetic tests
have no role to play in talent identification or the individualised prescription of training to …
