Human physical performance is strongly influenced by genetic factors. We have previously reported that the I variant of the human angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) gene is associated with greater endurance performance in mountaineers and Olympic runners and improved performance in army recruits. In this study we examined whether this effect is mediated by improvements in cardiovascular fitness with training...
