Elite Athletes: Are the Genes the Champions? [PDF]

International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance, 2010
Recent research has analyzed the genetic factors that influence world-class athletic status. Much of what we know comes from association studies, with the ACE I/D and ACTN3 R577X polymorphisms having been extensively studied. The association between the ACTN3 R577X variation and elite athlete status in power sports is strongly documented, yet whether ...

Anthropometric profiles of elite athletes

Journal of Human Sport and Exercise, 2020
Quantifying body composition is central to monitoring performance and training in athletes, however limited sport-specific anthropometric reference data, assessed and reported in a standardised manner, is available. This study provides anthropometric profiles in elite male athletes from different sports.

A pilot study comparing the metabolic profiles of elite-level athletes from different sporting disciplines [PDF]

, 2018
Background: The outstanding performance of an elite athlete might be associated with changes in their blood metabolic profile. The aims of this study were to compare the blood metabolic profiles between moderate- and high-power and endurance elite ...

Asthma in Elite Athletes

Clinical Pulmonary Medicine, 2010
There is a high prevalence of asthma among elite performance athletes, particularly those who train and compete with high ventilation rates in austere environments, such as cross country skiers and swimmers. How best to assess, diagnose, and treat asthma or exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) in athletes remains controversial.

Discovery of causal paths in cardiorespiratory parameters: a time-independent approach in elite athletes [PDF]

www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphys.2018.01455/, 2018
Training of elite athletes requires regular physiological and medical monitoring to plan the schedule, intensity and volume of training, and subsequent recovery. In sports medicine, ECG-based analyses are well established. However, they rarely consider the correspondence of respiratory and cardiac activity.
