Familial determinants of moderate and intense physical activity: a twin study.

Medicine and science in sports and exercise - 1 Aug 1997

Abstract excerpt

This twin study estimates familial clustering of moderate and intense leisure-time physical activity and investigates quantitatively its genetic and environmental components. Study subjects are 3,344 male twin pairs aged 33-51 yr. Moderate activity levels were assessed with six questions about discretionary walking or stair climbing for exercise. Five questions assessed regular participation in specific, intense...
