Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: There is little information regarding the effects of strength training on intermuscular fat (IMF). This study examines changes in IMF in response to strength training in carriers of the adrenergic receptor (ADR) beta2Glu27 polymorphism versus noncarriers and between carriers of ADRalpha2b Glu(9) polymorphism versus noncarriers. METHODS: Midthigh IMF and muscle area were measured by computed tomography...
