Athletic performance is a multifactorial phenotype influenced by environmental factors as well multiple genetic variants. Different elements have great influence over components of athletic such endurance, strength, power, flexibility, neuromuscular coordination, psychological traits and other features important in sport. The current literature review revealed that to date more than 69 markers been associated with power athlete status. For the purpose present we assigned all described...

The C/T polymorphism (rs17782313) mapped 188 kb downstream of the melanocortin-4 receptor gene (MC4R) shows a strong relationship with an increased body mass index (BMI) and risk type 2 diabetes. However, information on polymorphism's potential modifying effect obesity- metabolic-related traits achieved through training is still unknown. Therefore, we decided to check if selected measurements observed in physically active participants would be modulated by genotype. genotype distribution was...
