Previous studies have demonstrated that compared to runners, swimmers carry a higher prevalence of the IL-6 -174C polymorphism and lower single nucleotide polymorphism frequencies of the IGF system.
Purpose
The aim of the present study was to assess the combined frequency of the IL-6 -174G/C and IGFBP3 -202A/C polymorphisms among track and field athletes and swimmers.
Methods
Track and field athletes were divided into long-distance runners (major event 5000 m-marathon, n = 63) and power athletes (major event 100-200 m sprints and long jump, n = 67). Swimmers were divided into long-distance swimmers (major event: 400-1500 m, n = 50), and short-distance swimmers (major event: 50-100 m, n = 43). All participants had achieved results that ranked them among the top all-time Israeli athletes in their event, and competed at national and/or international level on a regular basis.
Results
Carrying both IL-6C and IGFBP3C mutations was significantly greater among long-distance swimmers (LDS – 44%) compared to long distance runners (LDR – 21%, p < .01), and among short distance swimmers (SDS – 49%) compared to sprinters and jumpers (S/J – 28%, p < .05). Among runners, the prevalence of those not carrying either of the two mutations was significantly higher among LDR (25%) compared to S/J (10%, p < .03).
Conclusion
The prevalence of carrying both IL-6C and IGFBP3C mutations was significantly higher among the swimmers compared to runners. It is possible that carrying the IGFBP3C polymorphism is required to compensate for the potential genetically non-beneficial effects of a higher IL-6C genotype and an attenuated IGF system among the swimmers.

游泳者和跑步者中IL-6 G-174C和IGFBP3 A-202C多态性的组合频率。
先前的研究表明,与跑步运动员相比,游泳运动员的IL-6 -174C多态性患病率更高,而IGF系统的单核苷酸多态性患病率更低。
目的
本研究的目的是评估田径运动员和游泳者IL-6 -174G / C和IGFBP3 -202A / C多态性的组合频率。
方法
田径运动员分为长跑运动员(主要项目5000 m马拉松,n = 63)和力量运动员(主要项目100-200 m sprint和跳远,n = 67)。游泳者分为长距离游泳者(主要事件:400-1500 m,n = 50)和短距离游泳者(主要事件:50-100 m,n = 43)。所有参与者都取得了成绩,使他们跻身以色列历史上最优秀的运动员之列,并定期参加国家和/或国际比赛。
结果
与长距离跑步者(LDR – 21%,p <.01)相比,长距离游泳者(LDS – 44%)和短距离游泳者(SDS – 49)携带IL-6 C和IGFBP3 C突变的比例明显更高。%)与短跑和跳投相比(S / J – 28%,p <.05)。在跑步者中,与S / J(10%,p <.03)相比,LDR(25%)中未携带两种突变者的患病率明显更高。
结论
与跑步者相比,游泳者中携带IL-6 C和IGFBP3 C突变的患病率明显更高。可能需要携带IGFBP3 C多态性来补偿游泳者中更高的IL-6C基因型和减毒的IGF系统潜在的遗传上非有益的作用。
