Article Synopsis
- The study examined how specific genetic variations (polymorphisms) impact athletic performance, focusing on Brazilian swimmers and their endurance and strength abilities.
- 123 elite and sub-elite athletes participated, with findings indicating a higher frequency of certain genotypes (like DD in ACE) among strength experts in elite groups.
- The results suggest that genetic factors like ACE and ACTN3 polymorphisms play a significant role in influencing athletic performance in swimmers, although no differences in overall allele distribution were found among athletes versus controls.
