Association of Cognition-Related Genetic Polymorphisms with Elite Athlete Status: A Meta-Analysis.

Genes - 9 Apr 2026

Akkuş Elif, Eyipınar Cemre Didem, Buzdagli Yusuf

Abstract excerpt

Background: Athletic performance is a multifactorial construct influenced by physiological, biomechanical, and psychological determinants. In recent years, genetic factors have been increasingly recognized as contributors to inter-individual variability in performance. In particular, polymorphisms in genes involved in neurobiological pathways have been associated with cognitive processes relevant to sport...
