That's way too scientific.
With a ten dollar bill, some duct tape, and a tennis ball...you could find out which kid in the play ground is a sprinter.
Line em up. Throw long. First kid to get to the $ ball is your sprinter.
Now that's funny! :D
The interesting stuff was on the second page of the article: no single gene controls aptitude for sport A or X, and so forth. And someone lacking a requisite gene might be able to compensate in other ways. "Plays well with others" PWO gene is important in team sports.
John McPhee's book on Bill Bradley (in his basketball playing days), A Sense of Where You Are, is priceless. Oliver Sacks has written on the neurological training that goes into playing one sport v. another (his subject was Michael Jordan?).
