It provides potential answers to some of contemporary sport and exercise's defining issues and throws up some of the area's most challenging ethical questions, but to date, it has rested on a fragmented and disparate literature base. The \u003cem\u003eRoutledge Handbook of Sport and Exercise Systems Genetics\u003c\/em\u003e constitutes the most authoritative and comprehensive reference in this critical area of study, consolidating knowledge and providing a framework for interpreting future research findings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaking an approach which covers single gene variations, through genomics, epigenetics, and proteomics, to environmental and dietary influences on genetic mechanisms, the book is divided into seven sections.
