The influence of genetic factors on physical functioning and exercise in second half of life.

Scandinavian journal of medicine & science in sports - 1 Feb 2003

Frederiksen H, Christensen K

Abstract excerpt

During the past decades, a number of studies of families and twins in particular have assessed the relative contribution of genetic and environmental factors to traits reflecting various aspects of physical functioning: maximal O2 uptake, muscular endurance, muscular strength, muscle cross sectional area, flexibility, and trainability. Although the estimate of the size of the genetic component differs between the...
