The objective of this study is to determine if previous findings of higher frequency of PPARA 7C allele in power/strength-oriented athletes would be supported by a positive trend to superior speed and power performance in a group of elite ice hockey players.
We found statistically significant differences in P max .kg −1 and marginally significant differences in P max .kg −1 FFM values in WT30 between carriers and non-carriers for C allele (14.6±0.2 vs. 13.9±0.3 W.kg −1 and 15.8±0.2 vs. 15.2±0.3 W.kg −1 FFM , P = 0.036 and 0.12, respectively).
