TLDR
These studies strongly suggest that genomic markers can be used to identify high- and low-responders to regular exercise, but additional research is needed to confirm these findings, to maximize the predictive power of genomic markers in all ethnic groups, and to develop strategies on how to deal with low- and non- responders before predictive genomic markers are ready for clinical use.Abstract:
Both observational studies and randomized, controlled interventions have shown that regular physical activity provides several health benefits. Although exercise programs improve risk factor profiles on average, a substantial body of evidence indicates that there are considerable inter-individual differences in response to these programs. Ability to predict who will be a high- or low-responder to exercise would be desirable from a physiologic and clinical perspective. The first exercise training studies utilizing objective genome-wide screening methods were published in 2010, and both reports identified a group of genes and DNA sequence variants that explained a considerable portion of variance in VO2max training response. These studies strongly suggest that genomic markers can be used to identify high- and low-responders to regular exercise. However, additional research is needed to confirm these findings, to maximize the predictive power of genomic markers in all ethnic groups, and to develop strategies on how to deal with low- and non-responders before predictive genomic markers are ready for clinical use.read more

Genes to predict VO2max trainability: a systematic review
Camilla J. Williams,Mark Williams,Nir Eynon,Kevin J. Ashton,Jonathan P. Little,Ulrik Wisløff,Ulrik Wisløff,Jeff S. Coombes +7 more
TL;DR: Ninety-seven genes have been identified as possible predictors of VO2max trainability and to identify if there are more genetic variants and/or mediators, further tightly-controlled studies that measure a range of biomarkers across ethnicities are required.

Differences in the Anthropometric and Physiological Profiles of Hungarian Male Rowers of Various Age Categories, Rankings and Career Lengths: Selection Problems.
TL;DR: In this paper, anthropometric and physiological profiles of Hungarian male rowers of different age categories (15-16, 17-18, and over 18 years), sports rankings and career lengths were created for 55 juniors, 52 older juniors and 23 seniors representing seven largest Hungarian rowing clubs.

Lubna Ibrahim Al Asoom,Hind Saleh Alsuwat,Nazish Rafique,Marwah Mansour Al Makhaita,Widyan Alamoudi,Sayed AbdulAzeez,Jesu Francis Borgio +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the identified genetic predispositions and gene-annotation enrichment in low VO2max in young Saudi females revealed that they are at high risk for developing cardiovascular complications.
Kestävyyskunnon kehittymisen yksilöllisyys ja harjoittelun ulkopuolisen fyysisen aktiivisuuden yhteys harjoitusvasteen vaihteluun
TL;DR: The findings of the study reaffirmed the prevalent assumptions about individuality of the training response in aerobic exercise programs and the role of non-exercise daily physical activity in this topic.

Physical Fitness and All-Cause Mortality: A Prospective Study of Healthy Men and Women
Steven N. Blair,Harold W. Kohl,Ralph S. Paffenbarger,Debra G. Clark,Kenneth H. Cooper,Larry W. Gibbons +5 more
TL;DR: Higher levels of physical fitness appear to delay all-cause mortality primarily due to lowered rates of cardiovascular disease and cancer, and lower mortality rates in higher fitness categories also were seen for cardiovascular Disease and cancer of combined sites.

TL;DR: In this article, a systematic literature search was conducted for observational cohort studies using MEDLINE (1966 to December 31, 2008) and EMBASE (1980 to December 30, 2008), which reported associations of baseline cardiorespiratory fitness with CHD events, CVD events, or all-cause mortality in healthy participants.
