Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the association of the ACTN3 R577X polymorphism with leg muscle explosive power in Spanish (Caucasian) elite basketball players and controls. METHODS: 100 (60 men) elite basketball players (cases) and 283 non-athletic controls participated in the study. We assessed power performance by means of the vertical squat and counter-movement jump tests.
