Abstract
Previous cross-sectional studies have indicated that low relative appendicular lean mass (ALM) against body weight (divided by body weight, ALM/Wt, or divided by body mass index, ALM/BMI) was negatively associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS). Conversely, previous cross-sectional studies have indicated that the absolute ALM or ALM divided by squared height (ALM/Ht2) were positively associated with MetS. The aim of this longitudinal study was to investigate the association between low absolute or relative skeletal muscle mass, leg muscle power, or percent body fat and the development of MetS in Japanese women in a 7-y prospective study. The study participants included 346 Japanese women aged 26 to 85 years. The participants were divided into low and high groups based on the median values of ALM/Wt, ALM/BMI, ALM/Ht2, absolute ALM, or leg power. The longitudinal relationship between ALM indices or leg power and MetS development was examined using Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regression models (average follow-up duration 7 years, range 1 to 10 years). During follow-up, 24 participants developed MetS. MetS incidence was higher in the low ALM/Wt group than the high ALM/Wt group even after controlling for age, obesity, waist circumference, family history of diabetes, smoking, and physical activity [adjusted hazard ratio = 5.60 (95% CI; 1.04-30.0)]. In contrast, MetS incidence was lower in the low ALM/Ht2 group than the high ALM/Ht2 group [adjusted hazard ratio = 10.6 (95%CI; 1.27-89.1)]. MetS incidence was not significantly different between the low and high ALM/BMI, absolute ALM, and leg power groups. Both ALM/Ht2 and ALM/Wt were not significant predictive variables for MetS development when fat mass or percent body fat was taken into account in the Cox model. At the very least, the results of this study underscore the importance of body composition measurements in that percent body fat, but not ALM, is associated with MetS development.

Abstract
Elite athletes are at greater risk of joint injuries linked to the subsequent risk of developing osteoarthritis (OA). Genetic factors such as mitochondrial (mt) DNA haplogroups have been associated with the incidence/progression of OA and athletic performance. This review highlights an area not yet addressed: is there a common pattern in the mtDNA haplogroups for OA occurrence in individuals and elite athletes of populations of the same descent? Haplotypes J and T confer a decreased risk of OA in Caucasian/European descent, while H and U increase this risk. Both J and T haplogroups are under-represented in Caucasian/European individuals and endurance athletes with OA, but power athletes showed a greater percentage of the J haplogroup. Caucasian/European endurance athletes had a higher percentage of haplogroup H, which is associated with increased athletic performance. In a Chinese population, haplogroup G appears to increase OA susceptibility and is over-represented in Japanese endurance athletes. In contrast, in Koreans, haplogroup B had a higher frequency of individuals with OA but was under-represented in the endurance athlete population. For Caucasian endurance athletes, it would be interesting to evaluate if those carrying haplotype H would be at an increased risk of accelerated OA, as well as the haplogroup G in Chinese and Japanese endurance athletes. The reverse might be studied for the Korean descent for haplogroup B. Knowledge of such genetic data could be used as a preliminary diagnosis to identify individuals at high risk of OA, adding prognostic information and assisting in personalising the early management of both populations.

Abstract
AIM The objective of this study was to explore the association between mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroups and physical performances in Han older adults. METHODS This study was an 8-year follow-up prospective cohort study. A total of 104 Han older adults completed the measurements of the 6-min walk test, grip strength and mitochondrial DNA sequencing. The mtDNA haplogroups were classified by using HaploGrep2 software. We used the mixed model to analyze the longitudinal effect of mtDNA haplogroups on physical performance tests among three waves of data. RESULTS The mean age at wave 3 among men and women were 78.3 and 77.2 years, respectively. The overall proportions of mtDNA haplogroups in this study population was 26.9% F, 21.2% M, 15.4% R, 14.4% D, 8.7% B and others. After adjusted for age, sex, ethnicity, body mass index and exercise, the interaction of mtDNA haplogroup M and waves significantly affected the 6-min walk distance. Notably, the adjusted mean of the 6-min walk distance among the group of mtDNA haplogroup M was significantly lower than other haplogroups at wave 3. The adjusted mean of grip strength among the group of mtDNA haplogroup R was significantly higher than other haplogroups at wave 3. CONCLUSIONS This finding suggests that mtDNA haplogroups might have effects on the 6-min walk test and grip strength in Han older adults, although studies of the physical performance of older adults with larger sample sizes are necessary to further substantiate these findings.

Abstract
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the major cause of death in modern society. CHD is characterized by atherosclerosis, which could lead to vascular cavity stenosis or obstruction, resulting in ischemic cardiac conditions such as angina and myocardial infarction. In terms of the mitochondrion, the main function is to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP) for cells. And the alterations (including mutations, altered copy number and haplogroups) of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are associated with the abnormal expression of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) system, resulting in mitochondrial dysfunction, then leading to perturbation on the electron transport chain and increased ROS generation and reduction in ATP level, contributing to ATP-producing disorders and oxidative stress, which may further accelerate development or vulnerability of atherosclerosis and myocardial ischemic injury. Therefore, the mtDNA defects may play an important role in making an early diagnosis, identifying disease-specific biomarkers and therapeutic targets, and predicting outcomes for patients with atherosclerosis and CHD. In this review, we aim to summarize the contribution of mtDNA mutations, altered mtDNA copy number and mtDNA haplogroups on the occurrence and development of CHD.

Abstract
Mitochondrial DNA encodes some proteins of the oxidative phosphorylation enzymatic complex, playing an important role in aerobic ATP production; therefore, it can contribute to the ability to respond to endurance exercise training. The accumulation of mitochondrial mutations and the migratory processes of populations have given a great contribution to the development of haplogroups with a different distribution in the world. Several studies have shown the important role of gene polymorphisms in aerobic performance. In this review, some mitochondrial haplogroups and multiple rare alleles were taken into consideration and could be linked to the athlete's physical performance of different ethnic groups.

Abstract
Athletic performance is a complex multifactorial trait involving genetic and
environmental factors. The heritability of an athlete status was reported to be
about 70% in a twin study, and at least 155 genetic markers are known to be
related with athlete status. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) encodes essential
proteins for oxidative phosphorylation, which is related to aerobic capacity.
Thus, mtDNA is a candidate marker for determining physical performance. Recent
studies have suggested that polymorphisms of mtDNA are associated with athlete
status and/or physical performance in various populations. Therefore, we
analyzed mtDNA haplogroups to assess their association with the physical
performance of Korean population. The 20 mtDNA haplogroups were determined using
the SNaPshot assay. Our result showed a significant association of the
haplogroup F with athlete status (odds ratio, 3.04; 95% confidence interval,
1.094 to 8.464; p = 0.012). Athletes with haplogroup F (60.64 ±
3.04) also demonstrated a higher Sargent jump than athletes with other
haplogroups (54.28 ± 1.23) (p = 0.041). Thus, our data imply
that haplogroup F may play a crucial role in the physical performance of Korean
athletes. Functional studies with larger sample sizes are necessary to further
substantiate these findings.

Abstract
Numerous reports of genetic associations with performance-related phenotypes have been published over the past three decades but there has been limited progress in discovering and characterising the genetic contribution to elite/world-class performance, mainly owing to few coordinated research efforts involving major funding initiatives/consortia and the use primarily of the candidate gene analysis approach. It is timely that exercise genomics research has moved into a new era utilising well-phenotyped, large cohorts and genome-wide technologies--approaches that have begun to elucidate the genetic basis of other complex traits/diseases. This review summarises the most recent and significant findings from sports genetics and explores future trends and possibilities.
