This book explores how advances in genomic science are transforming the way athletes train, recover and perform. Bringing together experts in genetics, physiology, nutrition, and strength and conditioning, it bridges the gap between research and real-world application, presenting practical strategies for coaches and practitioners that have been developed over nearly a decade of translating molecular discoveries into actionable insights. Organized from foundational to applied perspectives, the book begins with the principles of DNA structure, gene expression, inheritance and epigenetic regulation before advancing to genetic influences on exercise physiology, nutrition, inflammation, oxidative stress and recovery. Detailed chapters examine the roles of key genes and polymorphisms, such as ACTN3, ACE, PPARGC1A and COL5A1, in determining strength, endurance and susceptibility to injury. Applied case studies demonstrate how genomic information can inform personalized training and monitoring in endurance and power sports, with examples from track and field, open-water swimming, and team sports. The final chapters address ethical considerations, methodological limitations and the integration of multi-omics and artificial intelligence in the era of precision sports science. Genetics and Sports Performance is written for researchers, students, and applied professionals and offers a balanced, evidence-based framework for using genetic insights responsibly and effectively to enhance human performance while respecting its biological and ethical complexity.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書探討基因組科學的進展如何改變運動員的訓練、恢復和表現方式。匯集了遺傳學、生理學、營養學以及力量與體能訓練的專家，本書彌合了研究與實際應用之間的鴻溝，提出了經過近十年將分子發現轉化為可行見解的實用策略，供教練和從業者使用。
本書從基礎到應用的角度組織內容，首先介紹DNA結構、基因表達、遺傳和表觀遺傳調控的原則，然後深入探討基因對運動生理學、營養、炎症、氧化壓力和恢復的影響。詳細的章節檢視了關鍵基因和多態性（如ACTN3、ACE、PPARGC1A和COL5A1）在決定力量、耐力和受傷易感性方面的角色。應用案例研究展示了基因組信息如何為耐力和力量運動中的個性化訓練和監測提供指導，並舉例說明田徑、公開水域游泳和團隊運動的實際應用。最後幾章探討了倫理考量、方法論限制以及在精準運動科學時代中多組學和人工智慧的整合。
《基因學與運動表現》是為研究人員、學生和應用專業人士撰寫的，提供了一個平衡的、基於證據的框架，以負責任和有效的方式利用基因見解來提升人類表現，同時尊重其生物學和倫理的複雜性。
