Introduction Speed is an important prerequisite in soccer. Therefore, a large number of tests
have been developed aiming to investigate several speed skills relevant to soccer. This …

Objective: This review study aimed to assess the impact of neuromuscular training (NT) on
athletes' physical fitness in sports. Methods: Three independent reviewers conducted a …

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 …

Heritability studies on sport-related traits accepted that endurance, speed, power, and
strength abilities include an active genetic predisposition to elite soccer participation. This …

The aim of this review was to critically appraise the literature concerning the genetic
association with athlete status, physical performance, and injury risk in soccer. The …

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 …

The α-actinin-3 (ACTN3) gene rs1815739 (C/T, R577X) polymorphism is a variant frequently
associated with athletic performance among different populations. However, there is limited …

This study investigated whether ACTN3 R577X, AMPD1 C34T, I/D ACE, and M235T AGT
polymorphisms can affect performance tests such as jumping, sprinting, and endurance in …

The aim was to investigate a possible role of the ACTN3 R577X polymorphism in a Brazilian
football player's career progression. 2 questions were formulated: 1. Does ACTN3 …

Recent research has demonstrated that there is considerable inter-individual variation in the
response to aerobic training, and that this variation is partially mediated by genetic factors …
