The Sport Genes and Athlete’s Performance
Journal Title: Applied Science Reports - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Genes are heritable units, made of a sequence of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) contained in every cell of body. They act as codes to produce all the proteins and determine all characteristics. Research has found that genetics may determine 20-80% of an athlete’s performance. Genes also account for half the variation in the response to physical training. Genes are probably even more important than training in explaining differences in performance between athletes.
