Avaliação da associação dos polimorfismos da enzima conversora da angiotensina (ACE) e ACTN3 na relação potência versus resistência

Abstract

The Track and Field’s is a sport that has tests with different energy demands: power (P) for jumpers, sprinters and throwers and resistance (R) for runners and race walking long distances. It is possible to observe differences in these characteristics with possible variations of the D allele (deletion) and I (insert). This article recurrence of ACE (Angiotensin Converting Enzyme) in Track and Field’s athletes.Previous studies have linked this polymorphism to the defendant physical capacity in other modes. The sample was composed of 25 athletes (16 men and 10 women) from 13 to 38 years old with participants in a track team, which were then grouped according to the characteristic of this evidence (power or strength). The study showed significant differences between the samples and the expected for this frequency by the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (p = 0.0067, for the ACE polymorphism and p = 0.0143 for the ACTN3 polymorphism), regarding the capacity (P = 0.0223, for the ACE Polymorphism and p = 0.024 for the ACTN3 polymorphism). The study presented a recurrence of 71.7% in addition to the DD and ID genotypes, thus corroborating previous studies and 33.3% of genotype II, thus conflicting with previous research.
