Abstract

This study has been done in order to reveal the theoretical approach about the energy corridor or pathway (the ability space in which every genotype is dominant) used by gene variables during the exercise or the training and the construction of the training loads related to the mentioned corridor.

In this study, under the umbrella of the studies having been done about genetic and sportive performance development so far, detailed literatüre review method has beeen utilized. Within the scope of this research, by analizing similar research found in literatüre, they have been interpreted and evaluated as goal-oriented.

The “model of the location of genotypes associated with the energy systems” will be a beneficial tool for the athletes and trainers for creating, establishing, constructing or organizing a training program or individiual oriented training programs.

Conclusion; genetic heritage, which triggers sport success, is blended with environmental factors, life style, application of the trainings, coverage and intensity of the loads, development of neuromotor, balanced nourishment and cultural differences and it reveals changes or differentiations which are peculiar to the individual. When all of these variables are considered, the performance development and sport success may be aligned to more foreseeable trajectories.
