Summary/Abstract: Genes are DNA sequences of different lengths on the chromosome that carry the hereditary characteristics of living things from generation to generation. Genetic characteristics to be transferred to the next generation are encoded within the DNA sequences. Although humans have similar genes, there may be slight structural differences in nitrogen base pair sequences. These small changes, which are transferred from generation to generation between people, constitute the differences between individuals. This review presents a synthesis of the research conducted by the author. The search for scientific literature relevant to this review was performed using the terms of the US National Library of Medicine (PubMed), MEDLINE databases, genetic and athletic performance. Environmental factors, lifestyle and motivation as well as the correct sequence of genetic variables make it easier to achieve peak performance for the development of athletic performance. Genetic differences can achieve some of the goals in a very short period of time, while others can achieve high performance over a long period of time. Genetic differences are the basis for the success of some 3000 hours of training and some 10,000 hours of training for sportive performance development.
