Highlights
The regional diversity of body tissues has important implications for sport and physical activity; for example, in their relationship with training, playing performance and rehabilitation
Gender, genetics and ethnicity, are inherent determinants of Bone Mineral Density (BMD) which are controlled by a variety of genes [5]; the design of effective functional training regimes need to specify as many of these relevant variables as is possible [6]
The main findings of the present study of the ACTN3 gene in Rugby Union players adjusted for body size comprised 22% RR, 60% RX, 18% XX genotypes
Summary
The regional diversity of body tissues has important implications for sport and physical activity; for example, in their relationship with training, playing performance and rehabilitation. Differences in bone constitution exist within and between sporting groups, similar training programmes are unlikely have the same effect on bone mass [4]. Factors such as age, gender, genetics and ethnicity, are inherent determinants of BMD which are controlled by a variety of genes [5]; the design of effective functional training regimes need to specify as many of these relevant variables as is possible [6]
