Industry Reviews

Aus den Rezensionen: "... Den renommierten Herausgebern ist es mit diesem Band gelungen, dem Leser den neuesten Stand einer relativ jungen Wissenschaftsdisziplin nahe zu bringen. ... werden in acht anspruchsvollen Einzel-Kapiteln ... die Problematiken bei der Interpretation und Umsetzung von Erkenntnissen aus der Genom-Forschung in individuelle physische Leistungsoptimierung durchaus spannend dargestellt. ... Sie vermitteln uns mit diesem Band einen hervorragenden Uberblick auf die vor uns liegenden Aufgaben, Risiken sowie enormen Chancen einer Genom basierten Anleitung zur korperlichen Aktivitat auf den Feldern von Sport und translationaler Medizin." (Uwe Schumann und Martina Velders, in: Deutsche Zeitschrift fur Sportmedizin, 2011, Vol. 62, Issue 12, S. 395)
