| Research Abstract |
The present study was to identify genetic polymorphisms which were associated with elite sprint/power and/or endurance athlete status in world class athletes of Kenya, Jamaica, US, and Japan. We found that mitochondrial haplogroups were associated with elite endurance athlete status in elite Kenyan and Japanese athletes, also found intriguing associations between mitochondrial haplogroups with sprint/power athlete status in elite Japanese and African-American athletes, and with muscle power in Japanese non-athlete individuals. A genome-wide association studies(GWAS) was performed in elite sprint/power and endurance athletes of Jamaican and Japanese. In Japanese athletes, frequencies of each polymorphism between sprint/power and endurance athletes were compared using Chi-square tests. Among 750, 000 genetic polymorphisms, 5 allele frequencies differed significantly(p<0.00001) between groups.
