Sportive performance may be describe as all of the efforts put forth to succeed during fulfilling an obligatory athletic duty. One of the most important factors that affect sportive performance is genetic differences. Among these, mutations, polymorphism, epigenetic factors and chimerism lead. Mutations are permanent changes in genetic build and seen less than 1% of population. On the other hand, polymorphisms are seen more than 1% of population and are the existence of two or more different phenotype in the same kind of population. Epigenetic factors in which there is no change in DNA chain, while at the same time, it can change gene activation. However, chimerism is a single organism that is composed of two or more different populations of genetically distinct cells that originated from different zygotes involved in pregnancy. As a conclusion, it is found out that sportive performance may change due to the individuals’ phenotype feature changes caused by differences in genetic substructure.
