#NewArticle . Muy contento con este nuevo producto académico del Grupo de Investigación Bioquímica y Biología Molecular de la Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas como parte de la tesis de pregrado de Michelle Ortiz, en esta ocasión en el Journal of Human Sport and Exercise (Q2 SJR | Scopus). Agradecer a los miembros de DBSS International que participaron activamente en el proyecto así como a los colaboradores del Centro de Ciencias del Deporte de Coldeportes. . "Physical performance is conditioned by factors such as nutrition, exercise, environment, and biological elements that are related to the inheritance of individual characters. Despite the small sample, our results of genotype distribution and allelic frequency for ACTN3 R577X and ACE I/D polymorphisms in strength-trained athletes are in accordance with previous reports for high-intensity intermittent exercisers and power/strength athletes. These athletes had a higher distribution of the R than the X allele in the ACTN3 gene. The very low number of endurance-trained athletes makes it difficult to have an objective interpretation of our results. This exploratory study contributes to the molecular characterization of Colombian athletes, with an unprecedented report of the genotypic distribution and allelic frequency of ACTN3 R577X and ACE I/D." .
