Genetic and phenotypic markers for successful sport performance forecast
In scientific and methodological support of children's and youth sport it is important to ensure early identification of factors that limit physical activity, the skill to eliminate these factors, as well as the appropriate use of means of correction, which contribute to high results without damage to athlete's health. Research of the distribution of 5NTT gene polymorphisms in 80 young football and hockey players revealed that about 25% of young football players and 20% of young hockey players were referred to an unfavorable genetic variant, with a potential for indirect aggression, which may affect the success prospects during training and competition. The identified functional changes determine the need for rational pharmacological intervention in order to optimize the metabolic processes in the central nervous system, autonomic nervous system, as well as contribute to stable high physical working capacity and mental capacity.
