Perspectives in Sports Genomics is a scientific re Perspectives in Sports Genomics is a scientific review that examines how genetics influences athletic performance, training response, injury risk, recovery, and long-term athlete development. It discusses the role of genomic technologies, including DNA sequencing, genome-wide association studies (GWAS), epigenetics, and gene–environment interactions in understanding human athletic potential.
The document explains that athletic performance is shaped by multiple genes, each contributing small effects, alongside environmental factors like training, nutrition, sleep, and coaching. It highlights well-studied genes associated with power, endurance, muscle composition, tendon integrity, and aerobic capacity (e.g., ACTN3, ACE). The paper also covers ethical issues, including genetic privacy, misuse of genetic information, gene-based discrimination, and the possibility of future gene doping in sports.
The report further discusses how genomics may improve training personalization, talent identification, early detection of injury susceptibility, and optimization of recovery strategies—while warning that current scientific evidence is not strong enough for genetic tests to accurately predict athletic success. It concludes by identifying research gaps and stressing the need for regulation, athlete protection, and responsible use of genomic tools.
