Genetic profiles and prediction of the success of young athletes' transition from middle- to long-distance runs: an exploratory study.

Abstract excerpt

The aim of the study was to assess whether an aerobic-favoring genetic profile can predict the success of a shift from middle- to long-distance running. Thirteen elite middle-distance runners were divided into successful and nonsuccessful groups in their shift toward long-distance runs.
