What keeps a body moving? The brain-derived neurotrophic factor val66met polymorphism and intrinsic motivation to exercise in humans.

Journal of behavioral medicine - 1 Dec 2014

Caldwell Hooper Ann E, Bryan Angela D, Hagger Martin S

Abstract excerpt

Individuals who are intrinsically motivated to exercise are more likely to do so consistently. In previous research, those with at least one copy of the methionine (met) allele in the brain-derived neurotrophic factor gene (BDNF; rs6265) had greater increases in positive mood and lower perceived...
