A comparison of genetic variants between proficient low- and high-risk sport participants.

Journal of sports sciences - 1 Jan 2015

Abstract excerpt

Athletes participating in high-risk sports consistently report higher scores on sensation-seeking measures than do low-risk athletes or non-athletic controls. To determine whether genetic variants commonly associated with sensation seeking were over-represented in such athletes, proficient practitioners of high-risk (n = 141) and low-risk sports (n = 132) were compared for scores on sensation seeking and then...
