Abstract:
Over the years, sports performance has been associated with several factors that modify the athlete’s capacity to adapt to the effort required to perform such activities. Recent studies prove that these factors correspond not only to the training routines that the athletes follow, but also to genetic characteristics that contribute to a better response of the organism through changes that involve processes like protein synthesis to increase the metabolic rate or the production of the components of contractile machinery. Moreover, the genetic traits found in the athletes allow preventing injuries or conditions that could risk the individual’s life by identifying characteristic markers of these pathologies.
