Physical condition of each individual is primarily determined by his genotype. More than 150 genes are currently described that fundamentally

affect physical fitness, muscle strength and endurance of the body (mostly autosomal genes, but also on the Y chromosome and mitochondrial

DNA genes). Personal genomics of sport will in the future definitely play an important role in choosing the right sport activity, methodology,

training, nutrition and drug use. Some of the genes, particularly those affecting efficiency can be routinely investigated in our country.

Keywords: muscle activity, genes, gene doping, personal genomics
