Abstract excerpt
Inter-individual variation in muscle mass and muscular fitness is broad; being at the upper tail of the distribution not only contributes to improve elite sport performance, but is also associated with longer independent living and higher quality-of-life in the aging population. Heritability estimates of muscle phenotypes are substantial and warrant the search for genetic components underlying this individual...
