Shot put exhibits an upper limb coordinated "pushing", which is a common motor task with the lower limb. Proximal muscle function is recognised to be related to motor performance more than distal muscle function, but this has been confirmed...

Genomics of athletic performance is an emerging discipline with a high degree of controversy. With the existing level of evidence, it is both premature and highly risky to exploit current human genomics knowledge to predict exercise and sports performance or enhance existing training methodologies....Until more solid evidence on the influence of genomic variants in athletic performance becomes available, accompanied by regulatory approved genome-guided recommendations, all genetic associations should be restricted from general public access as commercial services, since genomic markers cannot per...se predict athletic performance for talent identification, resistance to injuries or the ability to recover from them.
