TL;DR: Functional analysis of gut microbiota samples from 96 healthy Russian adult subjects shows that the metabolic pathways exhibiting differential abundance in the novel types are primarily associated with the trade-off between the Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes phyla.

TL;DR: This study did not identify a panel of genomic variants common to these elite endurance athlete groups, and since GAMES was underpowered to identify alleles with small effect sizes, some of the suggestive leads identified should be explored in expanded comparisons of world-class endurance athletes and sedentary controls and in tightly controlled exercise training studies.

TL;DR: The data show that the NFIA-AS2 rs1572312, TSHR rs7144481 and RBFOX1 rs7191721 polymorphisms are associated with aerobic performance and elite endurance athlete status.

TL;DR: It is shown that the AGTR2 rs11091046 C allele is associated with an increased proportion of slow‐twitch muscle fibres, endurance athlete status and aerobic performance, which has important implications for the understanding of muscle function in both health and disease.

TL;DR: The data show that the SOD2 TT genotype might be unfavorable for high-intensity athletic events and associated with increased values of muscle and liver damage biomarkers.
