Abstract excerpt
There is a scarcity of studies on genetic variation of essential components of neuromuscular performance, such as maximal velocity and EMG activity during maximal effort. Using the twin model and comparing intrapair differences between monozygotic (MZ) and dizygotic (DZ) twins, we derived for these neuromuscular components heritability estimates (h2), signifying the phenotypic variance due to genetic differences....
