Can Genetic Testing Identify Talent for Sport?

Genes - 26 Nov 2019

Pickering Craig, Kiely John, Grgic Jozo, Lucia Alejandro, Del Coso Juan

Abstract excerpt

Elite athlete status is a partially heritable trait, as are many of the underpinning physiological, anthropometrical, and psychological traits that contribute to elite performance. In recent years, our understanding of the specific genetic variants that contribute to these traits has grown, such that there is considerable interest in attempting to utilise genetic information as a tool to predict future elite...
