Gene therapy is a rapidly evolving field with profound implications for human health and performance. By modifying or replacing defective genes, gene therapy offers the potential to treat genetic disorders and enhance physiological functions. As the scientific community delves deeper into the applications of gene therapy, interest has grown regarding its potential role in optimizing human strength and athletic performance. In this context, two primary approaches—in vivo gene therapy and ex vivo gene therapy—are emerging as pivotal methodologies in genetic modification for medical and enhancement purposes. Understanding in vivo vs. ex vivo approaches is essential in determining their efficacy, ethical considerations, and long-term viability for performance enhancement. This article explores how ex vivo gene therapy and in vivo gene therapy compare, their applications, and their future in strength training and athletic performance.
