What is the ACTN3?
1. Everyone has two copies of the ACTN3 gene, inheriting one copy of the gene from each parent.
2. The ACTN3 gene instructs our body to produce a specific muscle protein called alpha-actinin-3.
3. Researchers have found that some people have the variant which prevents the ACTN3 from making this specific muscle protein. Having this variant does not seem to have any harmful health effects, but there does seem to be an effect on sports performance.
4. Scientific studies involving elite level athletes suggest that the presence of this specific muscle protein contributes to the muscle’s ability to generate forceful contractions at high velocity.
Can you measure the natural pre-disposition of an athlete for a particular sport?
1. Researchers have found that individuals having the variant in both copies of their ACTN3 gene may have a natural predisposition for endurance (aerobic energy system events) such as distance running, distance swimming or cross country skiing.
2. Those athletes having one copy of the variant in their ACTN3 gene may be equally suited for both endurance and sprint/power sports such as soccer or cycling.
3. Athletes that possess neither copy of the variant in their ACTN3 gene may have a natural predisposition for speed/power sports such as football, weightlifting and sprint events.
