Polymorphism of Angiotensin-converting Enzyme Gene of Insertion/Deletion on Cardiovascular Endurance Performance of Athletes

Abstract

Abstract-The practical difference of the body metabolism plays a very substantial role in determining the kind of sport suitable for an athlete. One of the gene variations considered to control the potentials of an athlete is the gene variation of AngiotensinConverting Enzyme (ACE) symbolised as I and D. The ACE-I is responsible for the formation of the red muscles (slow twitch) and the ACE-D is in charge of forming the white muscles (fast twitch). This study aims at assessing how the roles of ACE gene exhaust the possibilities of the athlete's cardiovascular ability. Moreover, this study used the observational method with the prospective study approach to reveal a case in point of the correlation between one factor and the effect it causes. The findings indicated significant differences among the groups of II, ID, and DD variations of ACE gene genotype. The genotype II exposed an enhanced response to the cardiovascular endurance training compared to the genotype of DD and ID by the significant value. Also, there was a robust correlation of the variation of the angiotensin-converting enzyme of insertion/deletion and the cardiovascular duration performance of the athlete.

The Effect of Low-Impact Aerobic Dance Exercise Video on Cardiovascular Endurance, Flexibility, and Concentration in Females With Sedentary Lifestyle

“…Cardiorespiratory endurance is the ability of the heart, lungs, and blood vessels to function optimally at work to take oxygen optimally and distribute it throughout the body, especially to active tissue so that it can be used for the body's metabolic processes (Arimbi et al, 2019). Success in endurance sports requires a good level of aerobic or cardiorespiratory and endurance exercise depends on aerobic metabolism (Arimbi et al, 2017).…”

Reaksi Daya Tahan Kardiovaskular Atlet Terhadap Efek Intake Kafein

“…Reaksi Daya Tahan Kardiovaskular Atlet Terhadap Efek Intake Kafein, Arimbi performa atlet baik dalam latihan maupun dalam pertandingan, selama seorang atlet tidak memiliki alergi makanan tertentu atau diet makanan tertentu. Disamping itu beberapa bahan makanan tambahan dari alam juga bisa dijadikan sebagai makanan tambahan yang jauh lebih baik dan aman untuk di konsumsi antara lain madu, air kelapa, buah bit, semangka dan kopi (Arimbi & Mujari, 2022;Arimbi & Usman, 2020) Di bidang olahraga kopi (kafein) banyak dikonsumsi oleh para atlet sebelum latihan atau sebelum bertanding karena senyawa aktif dalam kopi mampu meningkatkan metabolisme energi, kafein dalam kopi juga memberikan efek stimulan seperti peningkatan frekuensi pernafasan, denyut jantung, tekanan darah, dan sekresi dari hormon stres (Arifuddin Usman Muriyati, 2017;Colonna, 2023). Karena kafein sering digunakan sebagai stimulan selama melakukan aktifitas berat karena banyak peneliti yang mengungkapkan bahwa kafein dapat meningkatkan daya tahan bila dikonsumsi sebelum berolahraga.…”
