TL;DR: The strength of the genetic evidence for VO(2VT) and VT%VO(2 max) suggests that these traits should be further investigated for potential relations with specific candidate genes, if they can be identified, and explored through a genome-wide scan.

TL;DR: The results show that the contribution of muscle fiber type and enzyme activities to aerobic performance may be inflated from a statistiscal point of view by the training status heterogeneity of subjects and suggest that variation in these muscle characteristics does not account for the individual differences in aerobic performance of subjects who have never trained before.

TL;DR: These results represent the first report of linkage for the lipoprotein subfractions and for the lipid and lipop protein responses to exercise training and it is interesting that the strongest signals were found for the LDL-TG and HDL-TG subfraction, given their particular relationships with the atherogenic lipid profile including dense LDL and HDL particles.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that endurance training increases fat cell glucose conversion into triglycerides and suggest that adipose tissue metabolism is part of the adaptive response to training, and it appears that adiposes tissue response to aerobic training is more efficient in males than in females.

TL;DR: The results indicate that high adipose tissue lipolytic activity is associated with low percent body fat in highly trained endurance runners.
