Abstract excerpt
The angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) I/D and alpha-actinin 3 (ACTN3) R/X polymorphisms have been suggested to influence variations in skeletal muscle function. This study investigated the association between ACE I/D and ACTN3 R/X polymorphisms and muscle strength and contractile properties in young UK Caucasian men. Measurements of the knee extensor muscles were taken from 79 recreationally active but...
