Book ChapterDOI
Genetic testing of athletes.
TL;DR: The evidence currently available suggests that few of these or similar scenarios are scientifically justified - the genetic tests available at the moment are simply not powerful enough to inform important decisions in sport.
Journal ArticleDOI
Can simple anthropometric and physical performance tests track training-induced changes in maximal box-lifting ability?
Alun G. Williams,Mark P. Rayson +1 more
TL;DR: Training-induced changes in box-lift performance appear to be highly specific, which suggests that both training and testing procedures should also be specific to box- Lift performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variants within the MMP3 gene and patellar tendon properties in vivo in an asymptomatic population
TL;DR: Patellar tendon properties do not seem to be influenced by the MMP3 gene variants measured, and that association is unlikely to be mediated via underlying tendon dimensional and functional properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
The genetic association with injury risk in male academy soccer players depends on maturity status.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated whether nine candidate single nucleotide polymorphisms were associated with injury in soccer players at different stages of maturation and found that the combination of injury-associated genotypes was greater in injured vs non-injured ASP.
Journal ArticleDOI
The acute effects of exercise and glucose ingestion on circulating angiotensin-converting enzyme in humans.
TL;DR: The results suggest that acute exercise and glucose ingestion interventions as used here do not affect circulating ACE activity, and are an early step in illuminating the relationships between ACE activity and various exercise parameters.
