Genetics of physical activity and physical inactivity in humans.

Behavior genetics - 1 Jul 2012

de Vilhena e Santos Daniel Monteiro, Katzmarzyk Peter T, Seabra André Filipe Teixeira, Maia José António Ribeiro

Abstract excerpt

Emerging evidence suggests that physical activity and sedentary behavior [reflected in physical inactivity (PI)], might be two different phenotypes that may have distinct underlying physiological mechanisms. The purpose of this review is to summarize the existing literature on the genetic determinants of PA and PI phenotypes in humans, considering them as distinct behaviors. Completed in January 2011, this review...
