For exercise scientists, sports clinicians, human geneticists, athletes, and coaches, Collins (human biology, U. of Cape Town, South Africa) compiles 13 articles on the applications of genetic research in the areas of exercise science and sports medicine. Clinicians, exercise scientists, human geneticists, and other biological scientists from North America, Europe, Australia, and Africa describe genetics and sports in the pre-molecular biology era, and address ethical concerns, clinical applications, the exploitation of genetic information, and the issue of nature vs. nurture in determining athletic ability. They also discuss the etiology of sports injuries, gene-lifestyle interactions and their consequences on health (including obesity), genetic risk factors in musculoskeletal soft tissue injuries, and genetic therapy, doping, and testing of athletes. Others cover key concepts in human genetics in relation to understanding multifactorial conditions, specific DNA sequence variants believed to be associated with athletic performance, and the genetics and lifestyle of East African runners.
