Technological advances over the last two decades have placed
genetic research at the forefront of sport and exercise science. It
provides potential answers to some of contemporary sport and
exercise's defining issues and throws up some of the area's most
challenging ethical questions, but to date, it has rested on a
fragmented and disparate literature base. The Routledge Handbook of
Sport and Exercise Systems Genetics constitutes the most
authoritative and comprehensive reference in this critical area of
study, consolidating knowledge and providing a framework for
interpreting future research findings. Taking an approach which
covers single gene variations, through genomics, epigenetics, and
proteomics, to environmental and dietary influences on genetic
mechanisms, the book is divided into seven sections. It examines
state-of-the-art genetic methods, applies its approach to physical
activity, exercise endurance, muscle strength, and sports
performance, and discusses the ethical considerations associated
with genetic research in sport and exercise. Made up of
contributions from some of the world's leading sport and exercise
scientists and including chapters on important topical issues such
as gene doping, gender testing, predicting sport performance and
injury risk, and using genetic information to inform physical
activity and health debates, the handbook is a vital addition to
the sport and exercise literature. It is an important reference for
any upper-level student, researcher, or practitioner working in the
genetics of sport and exercise or exercise physiology, and crucial
reading for any social scientist interested in the ethics of sport.
