| Abstract. | The study analyzes the role of genetics in determining human capabilities, highlighting the interaction between genetic predispositions and environmental influences in achieving peak performance. Research goal. Identifying the role of genetics in defining human performance and evaluating the interactions between genetic and environmental factors. Research objectives. Analysis of the impact of the ACTN3 and BDNF genes on physical and cognitive performance. Determining the correlation coefficients between genetic predisposition and sports results. Evaluating the influence of environmental factors in the development of human potential. The research supports the idea that maximum performance can be achieved through a complex strategy that combines genetic knowledge with practical measures. The results emphasize that human limits are not rigid, but can be influenced and expanded through adequate training and favorable environmental conditions. The research supports the idea that maximum performance can be achieved through a complex strategy that combines genetic knowledge with practical measures. The conclusions of the paper offer perspectives for personalizing training in sports and education, supporting the development of individualized programs that maximize each person’s potential. |
