Genes affecting fitness exercise results

This study was published in the journal Public Library of Science Comprehensive, by experts from the University of Cambridge Sports and Exercise Science Center (Aru) in England, Ruskin University in England found that up to 72% of the difference between people is in performance results The latter specific exercise can be due to genetic differences
.

Scientists analyzed the results of the study of 3,012 adults aged 18-55 to determine how our genes affect three important physical exercises
.
These people have never participated in physical exercise before

Muscle strength, cardiovascular health and anaerobic capacity are all key factors that shape a person’s health, well-being and quality of life.
All participants have shown improvements after sports training, but to varying degrees, even in exactly the same way.
The same is true for sports training
.

By combining data from 24 independent studies, the researchers found that for those who follow the same exercise designed to increase muscle strength, 72% of the difference in results is caused by genetic differences
.

At the same time, through the V? O2max test, and a 10% difference in results after exercise, to improve anaerobic capacity, which is the key to exercise and agility
.
The remaining changes are affected by other factors, such as diet and nutrition, recovery and injury

Every gene has an allele, and the type of allele can affect the effectiveness of the gene
.
Researchers believe that it is these alleles that cause people's bodies to respond differently to the same exercise

In total, this study identified 13 genes and related alleles that determine the body's response to cardiovascular health, muscle strength, and anaerobic strength exercise
.

Researchers suggest that genetic testing can make exercise more suitable for everyone, rather than general exercise for everyone
.
This will benefit everyone from hospital patients undergoing rehabilitation to elite athletes

The lead author of the study, Henry Chung, a graduate researcher at Anglia Ruskin University (ARU), said: “We know that exercise is good for us, but even if we follow the same training regimen, our progress is They are all different
.
This means that there are other factors at play

"Our research found 13 genes that have an impact on exercise results.
We found that specific alleles contained in these genes are more suitable for certain aspects of fitness
.
For example, repeated exercises are designed to increase muscle strength, and genetic differences can explain 72 % Difference of the same training result

"Because everyone’s genetic makeup is different, our body responds slightly differently to the same exercise
.
Therefore, by identifying someone’s genotype and then tailoring a specific training program for them, it should be possible to improve the exercise program.

"This is especially beneficial to those who need to see improvement in a short period of time, such as hospital patients, or elite athletes.
