Humans are born unique from each other. Each person gives different answers and adaptations to a similar exercise according to gender, age, nutrition, genetics, etc. Some naturally respond better to adaptations and exercise and are talented in sports. Today, all countries are looking for such people to achieves status and medals, and they have long-term plans to discover and nurture talented athletes. Among these types of programs, talent identification can be mentioned. Various factors such as environment, economy, motivation, nutrition and genetics are effective on acquisition.
This article is written with a descriptive-analytical method based on studies and using the search engines of Science direct , PubMed databases and Google Scholar.
This research aimed to review how genetics impact endurance and power-based exercise performance (ACTN3 and ACE for non-aerobic and strength sports). It aimed to evaluate the potential use of genotyping in identifying athletic talent, nutrigenomics, and preventing exercise-related injuries. Additionally, the study aimed to provide an overview of recent research that has sought to address Gene doping and gene therapy.
Today, it is accepted that genetics determines the response of an individual to the surrounding environment. However, the identification of the genetic background related exercise performance of the athletes is challenging. Recently, the development of technology for rapid DNA sequencing and genotyping has allowed the identification of some of the individual genetic variations .
The content of the paper includes information about Talent Identification based on genetics. It discusses various aspects related to genetic identification of talent. It covers topics such as genetic markers, SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism)analysis, TGS(Genotype Scores), GWAS (Genome-Wide Association Studies), and the relationship between genetics and talent identification. The file provides insights into the use of genetic information for talent identification and the methods employed in this field.
With the studies done, it was shown to some extent that genetic testing is used not only for finding talent, but also for training monitoring (overtraining, injury, fatigue and even training).
