Excerpt
It has been suggested that ACE genetic polymorphism might be a genetic marker for elite endurance performance of human being. In our previous investigation on highly-trained endurance athletes, we noticed an association between ACE polymorphism and maximal aerobic performance. In order to testify this hypothesis further, we carried out the similar research protocol in a distinctly different population in terms of exercise physiology.
