Athletics gene 2 (ACE SNP rs4646994)
COMPETITIVE SPORT
The human enzyme, "Angiotensin Converting Enzyme", also called ACE, plays an important role
in the regulation of the blood pressure. Production of this enzyme is controlled by the ACE
gene (Sports gene 2) which occurs in two forms. On the one hand there is the endurance sports
variant of the ACE gene, which has a positive effect on endurance of the muscles, commonly
found in elite marathon runners. The second form is the power form of the ACE gene, which
makes the muscles more suitable for power and sprint sports. Because each individual has two
genes of this type, the following gene combinations are possible:
➤ ENDURANCE - Both genes are the endurance variants (25% of population)
➤ ENDURANCE - One gene is the endurance variant, the other is the power variant (50% of
population)
➤ POWER - Both genes are the power variants (25% of population)

Both of your genes of this type are of the endurance type and give you a significant advantage
in endurance oriented sports while acting as a certain handicap for power oriented sports.
