EPAS1 is a gene involved in complex oxygen sensing. It is expressed in microvascular endothelial cells, lung epithelial cells, cardiac myocytes and the brain. An association study was undertaken comparing elite endurance athletes classified into two groups according to a power-time model of performance intensity: power-time-maximum (PT-MAX; N=242, event duration 50 s to 10 min) and power-time-steady state (PT-SS;...
