Investigations of environmental and genetic influences on East African distance running success

2006-01-01

Abstract excerpt

The primary objective of these experiments was to assess the environmental and genetic contributors to east African running success. Elite Ethiopian and Kenyan athletes, as well as matched controls, consented to participate in the current series of experiments by completing a questionnaire on their ethnic and environmental background, and by providing a buccal swab for analysis of novel and existing candidate gene...
