In recent years, there has been a marked increase in the study of sports genetics, particularly for its potential to elucidate the genetic basis of athletic performance, and the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene has been of particular interest in this field. The role of genetics in sports performance, and more specifically the influence of the ACE gene, has provided valuable insights into the development of athletic ability. This book aims to explore genetic approaches in sports, focusing on the physiological importance of the ACE gene. The ACE gene has received particular attention for its association with athletic performance, and variations in the ACE gene have been associated with differences in endurance and power abilities between athletes. This suggests that genetic predispositions may underline the potential for influencing an individual’s physical abilities.In conclusion, genetic approaches provide valuable insights for understanding and improving athletic performance, while the discovery of genes such as ACE provides insight into the complex interplay between genetics and athletic ability.
