Abstract

Genetic variations regulate vital athletic requisites like aerobic capacity, nature of energy release, predominance of slow or fast twitch muscle fibres and muscle fatigue resistance. Understanding the genetic factors that influence an individual’s adaptability to different types of physical activities can help in choosing the right sport based on innate ability. Additionally, the position or role in sport can also be planned accordingly. Through personalized training and tailor-made nutritional requirements, genetic insights can aid in sport choice and enhance performance.
