The Routledge Handbook of Sport and Exercise Systems Genetics takes an approach which covers single gene variations, through genomics, epigenetics and proteomics, to environmental and dietary influences on genetic mechanisms. It examines genetic methods, muscle strength and sports performance, and ethical considerations of genetic research.
