GENETICS AND SPORTS PERFORMANCE AND NUTRITION
It is undeniable that there is a growing interest in the practice of physical activity and sports, whether to participate in sports competitions, to improve general health or for appearance. However, lack of progress, physical fitness goals not achieved or injuries are recurring problems that eventually lead to the abandonment of the practice of sports.
Scientific studies reinforce the importance of the genetic component in athletic potential. It is estimated that genetics influence sports performance by about 70%. The use of genetic information is relevant because different people respond to the same training plan in different ways.
