Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The primary aim of the Athlome Project is to combine resources from individual studies and consortia worldwide to collectively study the genotype and phenotype data available on elite athletes, the adaptation to exercise training (in both human and animal models), and the determinants of exercise-related musculoskeletal injuries. Whole genome analysis of elite athletes is going to reshape our current understanding of the genetic basis of human performance and by association health-related fitness. This knowledge will help generate new solutions to modern-day health problems such as inactivity, obesity, and sarcopenia, all of which are at the opposite spectrum of the elite athlete phenotype. We present preliminary data on the whole genome sequencing analysis of Kenyan elite runners.
