| Description | The paper describes a genotype share in individual's physical condition, especially in his ability to give extra physical performances in extreme living conditions for longer time. An attention is paid to so-called ACE gene, which controls the production of an important enzyme so-called angiotensin II. This enzyme increases significantly readiness and ability of our tissues to perform higher. There exist two forms of ACE gene in human population: one is extra advantageous for an individual because it causes creation of highly effective form of angiotensin II, the second form of ACE gene is disadvantageous because it causes creation of an enzyme with very low activity. Individuals can be divided into three groups according to hereditary gene forms - individuals with excellent gene equipment, individuals with disadvantageous gene equipment and individuals with neutral gene equipment. There is important finding for comfortable and happy life of concrete individual and for educational process generally that individuals who do not have an optimal genotype are not able to perform maximum in extreme conditions and their physical condition does not improve on principal even by highly intensive physical training. |
