Current understanding of the genetic basis for physical activity.

The Journal of nutrition - 1 Mar 2011

Lightfoot J Timothy

Abstract excerpt

Although it is well known that physical activity prevents and ameliorates a large number of conditions and chronic diseases, it is also incontrovertible that physical inactivity is becoming more prevalent. This paradox has led some to suggest that genetic/biological factors influence activity levels as opposed to the classical notion that voluntary activity is solely regulated by environmental factors. There is a...
