Abstract

In recent years, significant advances in molecular biology has facilitated emerging knowledge pertaining to genetics in sport science research. Specific regions of DNA are known to influence genetic polymorphism(s) and partly explain individual variations in response to exercise stimuli and diet. Following exhaustive exercise, certain genetic variations or polymorphisms have been associated with muscle damage indices and may influence muscular recovery. The purpose of this narrative review is to outline the transcription factors of co-activators of associated polymorphisms that appear to play a role in muscle recovery. We also highlight the potential interaction of gene expression and the impact of macronutrients. Several genes (ACE, ACTN3, CCL 2 (C> T), COL5A1, CKM (A> G) have been implicated in various aspects of skeletal muscle remodeling. Individuals with specific genotypes experience changes in muscle damage and recovery rates following exercise. The contribution of heritability to a specific phenotype is likely dependent and the modality, intensity, and duration of exercise. Future research is warranted to explore multigenetic characteristics to provide a deeper molecular understanding of recovery, adaptation and nutritional modulation that may allow the identification of individuals with a greater genetic predisposition, or with a greater risk of developing muscle injuries.
