Journal Article

Familial resemblance for body composition measures: the HERITAGE Family Study.

Treva Rice, +7 more
- 01 Nov 1997 - 
TL;DR: Alternative hypotheses for FFM warrant further investigation using complex multilocus-multitrait segregation models, which allow for major genetic, polygenic, and environmental sources of variance, as well as interactions among them.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gene–Physical Activity Interactions: Overview of Human Studies

Tuomo Rankinen, +1 more
- 01 Dec 2008 - 
TL;DR: From these studies, it is clear that there are considerable individual differences in the response to an exercise regimen and that there is a substantial familial aggregation component to the observed heterogeneity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Is adiposity at normal body weight relevant for cardiovascular disease risk

S Tanaka, +9 more
- 01 Jan 2002 - 
TL;DR: NW males with elevated adiposity had higher prevalence of risk factors than NW males with less adiposity and the prevalence in the former was rather similar to that seen in OW males, while measures of adiposity added little additional information to the BMI classification of NW on CVD risk factors in females.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heart rate versus %VO2max: age, sex, race, initial fitness, and training response--HERITAGE.

James S. Skinner, +6 more
- 01 Nov 2003 - 
TL;DR: Training does not affect HR at a given %VO2max in a heterogeneous population of men and women, blacks and whites aged 17-65 yr with different initial VO2max values and different responses to training.
Journal ArticleDOI

Uncoupling protein 3 gene is associated with body composition changes with training in HERITAGE study

Christian Marc Lanouette, +13 more
- 01 Mar 2002 - 
TL;DR: UCP3 polymorphisms, Val102Ile, Tyr210Tyr, and a new microsatellite GAIVS6 located in the sixth intron, among 276 black and 503 white subjects from the HERITAGE Family Study concluded that UCP3 could be involved in body composition changes after regular exercise.
