Abstract excerpt
The CA-repeat polymorphism in the insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) gene promoter region has been associated with strength and circulating IGF-I protein levels. The purpose of the study was to determine if the IGF1 CA-repeat polymorphism influences muscle power at baseline and in response to ST in older adults. Knee extensor peak power (PP) was measured at 50, 60, and 70% of 1-RM strength before and after 10...
