Genetic factors in physical activity levels: a twin study.

American journal of preventive medicine - 1 Aug 2002

Maia José A R, Thomis Martine, Beunen Gaston

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Substantial interindividual variation is observed in sports participation and physical activity levels in youth. This study aimed to (1) estimate the relative contribution of genes, along with shared and nonshared environmental factors, to variation in sports participation index (SPI) and leisure-time physical activity (LTPA); and (2) test differences in those factors in males and females. METHODS:...
