68 | articlessummary == <p style="text-align:justify"><strong>The <em>IL6</em> gene helps create interleukin-6 (IL-6), an immune system compound which&nbsp;is important for muscle recovery and athletic performance. In fact, some scientists refer to IL-6 as &quot;an exercise factor&quot;! Furthermore, studies suggest that a certain variant in this gene may be more common in power-oriented athletes, and may even give some people a performance advantage when it comes to athletic performance in certain sports.
