Journal ArticleDOI

Age at menarche in relation to anthropometric characteristics, competition level and boat category in elite junior rowers.

TL;DR: There is no direct evidence to state that intensive rowing training has a negative influence on the maturation status of junior female athletes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide linkage scan for contraction velocity characteristics of knee musculature in the Leuven Genes for Muscular Strength Study.

TL;DR: It is concluded that many small contributing genes are involved in causing variation in the torque-velocity relationship of the knee flexor and extensor muscles.
Journal ArticleDOI

Associations between daily physical activity and physical fitness in Flemish males: A cross-sectional analysis.

TL;DR: The data indicate that physical activity during work was modestly, but inversely related to adiposity, and sport activity was beneficially associated to several fitness components, including cardiorespiratory fitness, trunk muscle strength, and upper body muscular endurance.
Journal ArticleDOI

The influence of maternal BMI and age in twin pregnancies on insulin resistance in the offspring

TL;DR: Novel findings suggest that in twin pregnancies, maternal factors are more important than fetoplacental factors in determining glucose-insulin metabolism in the offspring.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide linkage scan for maximum and length-dependent knee muscle strength in young men: significant evidence for linkage at chromosome 14q24.3

TL;DR: Many small contributing genes rather than a few important genes are involved in causing variation in different underlying phenotypes of muscle strength, and some overlap in promising genomic regions were identified among different strength phenotypes.
