Genetic Markers Associated with Elite Athletes

Athletic performance factors like endurance, strength, power, flexibility, neuromuscular coordination, psychological qualities, and other crucial aspects of sport, are greatly influenced by genetic components.

Genetic markers can be sorted into the following groups:

  • Markers associated with skeletal muscle structure and function
  • Markers involved in the inflammatory and repair reactions in skeletal muscle during and after exercise
  • Markers involved in blood pressure control
  • Markers involved in modulation of oxygen uptake
  • Markers that are regulators of energy metabolism and cellular homeostasis
  • Markers encoding factors that control gene expression by rearrangement of chromatin fibers and mRNA stability
  • Markers modulating cellular signaling pathways
