TL;DR: In-depth analyses will be necessary to elucidate the exact role of ATP2A2, PPP1CC, and NUAK1 in muscle strength and to find out which functional polymorphisms are at the base of the interindividual strength differences.

TL;DR: The results show small motor and somatic differences between rural and urban youngsters, which is explained by the process of conurbation, however, urban girls were significantly more involved in sports than their rural counterparts.

TL;DR: Although FF parameters are typically considered in clinical assessments of bone health/strength in older people, body composition appears to have a higher relevance in the explanation of BMD and strength.
