Recently, José Luis Sastre, a host on Spanish radio station Cadena SER, made a striking statement during his show. According to his interviews with professionals, genetics play a significant role in athletes’ performance.
Several institutions worldwide have already conducted studies on the various factors impacting athletes’ performance and their relative weight. These studies generally agree that genetics is one of the most significant factors, accounting for between 30% to 80% of the influence.
During his show, Sastre commented: “If you want to win an Olympic gold medal, the greatest effort you can make is choosing your parents. Once genetics, the decisive factor, is set, the impact of training, rest, and nutrition is roughly the same.”
