The evolution of sprinting performance: Technological and regulatory influences from 1976 to 2024
Skalski, D. T., Pronczuk, M., Losinska, K., Lulinska, E., Motowidlo, J., Stastny, P., Maszczyk, A., Trybek, G.Published in Baltic Journal of Health and Physical Activity (2025)“…However, recent stabilization trends suggest that human physiological limits may be approaching, with marginal performance gains becoming increasingly dependent on biomechanical and genetic optimizations. …”

Elite running performances: the result of genetics, epigenetics and nurture
Venkata, R. K.Published in MOJ Sports Medicine (2017)“…This is a widely contested area of sports science and needs extensive research and intellectual reasoning. Though the genetic code of the human being was identified, the field of genetics is still has a long way to go in establishing the precision biodynamic of genetic interactions. …”

Exome-wide association study of elite Jamaican and African-American sprint athletes
Tanaka, M., Fuku, N., Tanisawa, K., Higuchi, M., Miyamoto-Mikami, E., Wang, G., Padmanabhan, S., Cheng, Y.-C., Mitchell, B. D., Austin, K., Pitsiladis, Y. P.Published in Sport Science Research (2014)“…Purpose: Two exome-wide association studies (EWAS) of elite Jamaican and African-American sprint athletes and respective matched controls were performed to identify common genetic variants. Methods: 95 Jamaican sprint athletes and 102 Jamaican controls, 108 African-American sprint athletes were genotyped using the Illumina® HumanExome BeadChips. …”

Flopping, Klapping and Gene Doping: Dichotomies between 'Natural' and 'Artificial' in Elite Sport
van Hilvoorde, I., Vos, R., de Wert, G.Published in Social Studies of Science (2007)“…How do shifts in technology affect the attribution of the human element in athletic performance? To explore the attribution of human agency we compare the genetic enhancement of athletes with two other shifts of the 'natural performance' in sport: first, the introduction of a revolutionary high jump technique, the Fosbury flop, in 1968; and, second, the introduction of the klapskate in speed skating in 1997. …”

Muscle carnosine metabolism and [beta]-alanine supplementation in relation to exercise and training
Derave, W., Everaert, I., Beeckman, S., Baguet, A.Published in Sports Medicine (2010)“…Recent studies have shown that the chronic oral ingestion of ß-alanine can substantially elevate (up to 80%) the carnosine content of human skeletal muscle. Interestingly, muscle carnosine loading leads to improved performance in high-intensity exercise in both untrained and trained individuals. …”
