Introduction Many genetic elements have been discovered that affect human physical performance (Zilberman-Schapira, Chen, & Gerstein, 2012), among these, the polymorphisms of the angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) gene have undergone scrutiny. Rigat et al. (1990) discovered two polymorphic alleles of the ACE gene that correlate with concentration of ACEplasma, an insertion allele and a deletionContinue reading “The mechanisms of action for the ACE gene and its potential role in endurance performance.”

The physiological and biomechanical limitations imposed on athletes with achondroplasia.
The Little People of America organisation defines dwarfism as a condition that, when a person is fully grown, usually results in a height of no more than 1.2 metres; however a range between 0.8 and 1.4 metres has been recorded (Guse & Harvey, 2010). Dwarfism itself is a blanket term that refers to a personContinue reading “The physiological and biomechanical limitations imposed on athletes with achondroplasia.”
