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 …

Some long-term athlete development models have proposed generic sensitive periods or
“windows of opportunity” during childhood and adolescence that are optimal for training …

Association studies have identified dozens of genetic variants linked to training responses
and sport-related traits. However, no intervention studies utilizing the idea of personalised …

The age-related decline in skeletal muscle mass, strength and function known as
'sarcopenia'is associated with multiple adverse health outcomes, including cardiovascular …

Objective The special status accorded to elite athletes stems from their uncommon genetic
potential to excel in world-class power sports (PS). Genetic polymorphisms have been …

Background: The potential influence of genetics in athletic performance allows the search for
genetic profiles associated with muscular work for the orientation of strength training and …

As human longevity increases, recent research has focused on the maintenance of optimal
health during old age. One such area of focus is that of muscle function in the elderly, with a …

Purpose The present study aimed to investigate the potential impact of age, gender,
baseline strength, and selected candidate polymorphisms on maximal strength training …

This review summarised robust and consistent genetic variants associated with aerobic-
related and resistance-related phenotypes. In total we highlight 12 SNPs and 7 SNPs that …
