right training, perseverance, determination, but to become champions, or at least top-level sports, there is nothing to do you have to be 'prepared' . To reveal this 'bitter' discovery researchers are IRCCS Galeazzi Orthopaedic Institute in Milan, in collaboration with researchers of the University of Udine, Vanderbilt University in Iowa and the University of Tennessee, studied 205 athletes, of which 53 of 152 amateur and professional level and 458 non-athletes. The study, published in the journal BMC Medical Genetics, examined the DNA of sports and not for the presence of a variant (polymorphism) of the interleukin-1 receptor gene, the molecule responsible for inflammation of the muscle due to physical exertion.
"In competitive athletes - says a note IRCCS Galeazzi - this gene is present twice as much to non-athletes. So the competitive athlete has the characteristic of presenting a greater inflammatory response in his own muscle structure, but also has the ability to recover more quickly than those who do not do sports, a failure to train harder than others. It is clear that this is a predisposition and that the actual capacity athletic also depends on environmental factors and motivational. " [From "The Morning" of 26.04.2010]
