Abstract excerpt
An inverse relationship between initial level of physical capacity and the magnitude of response to training is termed the principle of initial value. We tested the operation of this principle under experimental conditions of minimal genetic and environmental variation. Inbred rat strains previously identified as genetic models of low [Copenhagen (COP)] and high [Dark Agouti (DA)] intrinsic (untrained) exercise...
