An Investigation of Genetic Factor in Soft Tissue Injuries and Muscle Types Within Football Players

Abstract

When it comes to athletic performance, genes that affect many factors such as increased aerobic capacity, gene regions associated with strength and athletic ability, oxygen capacity, muscle structure, energy metabolism, and gene variants that cause these genes to be affected at different levels in each individual have been the subject of research for a long time. is addressed. Amateur and professional athletes train according to their injury history after the problems they encounter. However, such measures are insufficient to prevent new injuries in the long run and ensure that the athlete has a healthy season. Similarly, anthropometric tests used in athlete selection and systems that are insufficient to process the data are insufficient to predict the physiological characteristics of this individual in the future and the development of the athlete. In this research, it is aimed to associate detailed genetic parameters by including the genetic marker of the athlete that affects a successful and healthy sports life, and to inform the trainers by reporting the genes that are statistically meaningful with physical data; In this direction, it is aimed to develop and widely provide new test technologies. The aim is to test the hypothesis that athletes who have been genetically scored and matched with the right training accordingly show more improvement. With this setup, the project will be one of the comprehensive studies in sports genetics studies conducted in Turkey, which includes scoring, enables quantitative measurements, and combines genetic factors with physical tests in the international literature.
