How is DNA Reshaping the Future of Athletic Performance?
Step inside the future of sport, where DNA, training, and ethics intersect. This presentation explores how biological factors like the so called speed gene ACTN3, high altitude ancestry, and epigenetic muscle changes shape performance. It then shows why those advantages still mean nothing without the right environment, coaching, and technique. It tackles controversial ethical debates like genetic talent testing, sex classification, racial myths, and CRISPR gene doping. Are champions built, born, or will they be bioengineered? The future of athletics seems increasingly similar to science fiction.
