ACTN3 R577X and ACE I/D gene variants influence performance in elite sprinters: a multi-cohort study

2016

Background To date, studies investigating the association between ACTN3 R577X and ACE I/D gene variants and elite sprint/power performance have been limited by small cohorts from mixed sport disciplines, without quantitative measures of performance. Aim: To examine the association between these variants and sprint time in elite athletes.
