Journal ArticleDOI
American College of Sports Medicine position stand. The female athlete triad.
TL;DR: The female athlete triad (Triad) refers to the interrelationships among energy availability, menstrual function, and bone mineral density, which may have clinical manifestations including eating disorders, functional hypothalamic amenorrhea, and osteoporosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Familial aggregation of VO(2max) response to exercise training: results from the HERITAGE Family Study.
Claude Bouchard,Ping An,Treva Rice,James S. Skinner,Jack H. Wilmore,Jacques Gagnon,Louis Pérusse,Arthur S. Leon,D. C. Rao +8 more
TL;DR: The trainability of VO(2max) is highly familial and includes a significant genetic component, and the most parsimonious models yielded a maximal heritability estimate of 47%.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of sex, age and race on estimating percentage body fat from body mass index: The Heritage Family Study.
AS Jackson,Philip R. Stanforth,Jacques Gagnon,Tuomo Rankinen,Arthur S. Leon,Dabeeru C. Rao,James S. Skinner,Claude Bouchard,Jack H. Wilmore +8 more
TL;DR: The data showed a race effect for women, but not men, and the failure to adjust for these sources of bias resulted in substantial differences in the proportion of subjects defined as obese by measured %fat.
Journal ArticleDOI
Familial resemblance for VO2max in the sedentary state: the HERITAGE family study.
Claude Bouchard,E. Daw,Treva Rice,Louis Pérusse,Jacques Gagnon,Michael A. Province,Arthur S. Leon,D. C. Rao,James S. Skinner,Jack H. Wilmore +9 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis of maternal inheritance, with the father's contribution being environmental, was found to fit the data with estimates of maternal heritability, potentially associated with mitochondrial inheritance, reaching about 30%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Targeting the metabolic syndrome with exercise: evidence from the HERITAGE Family Study.
Peter T. Katzmarzyk,Arthur S. Leon,Jack H. Wilmore,James S. Skinner,Dabeeru C. Rao,Tuomo Rankinen,Claude Bouchard +6 more
TL;DR: Aerobic exercise training in patients with the metabolic syndrome can be useful as a treatment strategy and provides support for a role for physical activity in the prevention of chronic disease.
