Association of genes variants with physical performance of athletes

Although the making of an elite athlete is complex and includes a range of environmental and behavioural factors, genetic predisposition to athleticism is also important. The research of molecular-physiological processes, employing genetic methods, is essential in the pursuit of creation of an optimal health care system for the athletes. This paper can be of interest to a broad readership interested in sports science, personalized genetics, predictive testing, sports medicine and genetic epidemiology.
