Abstract excerpt
The genetic difference among individuals partly explains variance in adaptive response to exercise through gene-environment interaction. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate the role of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphism, which locates at the translation initiation site, in the adaptations of bone to long-term impact loading. The VDR genotypes, as detected by endonuclease Fok I, and...
