Genetics Primer for Exercise Science and Health

By Stephen M. Roth

Genetics Primer for Exercise Science and Health is the first text dedicated to the basic concepts of genetics in relation to the broad range of topics in exercise science and health. It maintains a practical focus and addresses common concerns when preparing to study genetics, such as how to use online search tools to identify existing research literature and how to identify and select candidate genes using genome databases. Readers will also explore how genetics research may affect sport performance training and clinical practice, and the ethical issues raised by genetics in society and sport.
