Genes and human elite athletic performance.

Human genetics - 1 Apr 2005

Macarthur Daniel G, North Kathryn N

Abstract excerpt

Physical fitness is a complex phenotype influenced by a myriad of environmental and genetic factors, and variation in human physical performance and athletic ability has long been recognised as having a strong heritable component. Recently, the development of technology for rapid DNA sequencing and genotyping has allowed the identification of some of the individual genetic variations that contribute to athletic...
