Abstract

Background: The aim of this study is to determine the effect of ACE gene polymorphism on the parameters studied

(push-up & sit-up) in a long-term study, which has been carried out for many years and to find out whether the differences

in ACE gene’s metabolism due to the influence of parameters such as outside impacts and lifestyle (active or

sedentary life) have a role in the development of strength endurance or not.

Main text: 59 male army officers made up the research team. A follow-up study of strength endurance (push-up

and sit-up) test was conducted in the gym. The exam took two minutes to complete, and each application was tested

separately. In both 2004 and 2019, persons with genotype ID had the best mean sit-up and push-up outcomes, followed

by participants with genotype DD, and finally participants with genotype II (P 0.05). Compared to the original

rates in 2004, all genotype groups showed a significant reduction in push-up and sit-up scores in the test.

Conclusion: The findings of this study may reveal if strength and lifestyle choices affect the metabolic implications of

the genetic polymorphism in the body. Particular varieties actuated by genes, on either hand, don’t result in significant

improvements without any changes in individuals’ practices or ways of living, as per the conclusions.
