Genomic predictors of the maximal O2 uptake response to standardized exercise training programs

TLDR
These genomic predictors of the response of Vo(2max) to regular exercise provide new targets for the study of the biology of fitness and its adaptation to regular Exercise.
Abstract
Low cardiorespiratory fitness is a powerful predictor of morbidity and cardiovascular mortality. In 473 sedentary adults, all whites, from 99 families of the Health, Risk Factors, Exercise Training...

Heart rate variability and body composition as vo2max determinants

TL;DR: In this paper, a multivariate linear regression model was developed from the data obtained, and the model assumptions were verified by using the body composition, the autonomic nervous system, and age of the participants.

Genes and response to aerobic training

TL;DR: This chapter considers molecular mechanisms involved in skeletal muscle changes after endurance exercises, starting from DNA polymorphisms, evaluating epigenetic transformations, discussing theregulation of key genes regulating oxidative metabolism, and integrating them in gene networks involved in the regulation of aerobic muscle performances.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of chromosome substitution on intrinsic exercise capacity in mice.

TL;DR: The results of this study support the use of CSS as a model for the genetic analysis of exercise capacity and identify quantitative trait loci associated with exercise capacity in mice and suggest that the genetic architecture underlying exercise capacity is different in males and females.

Association of mitochondrial DNA polymorphisms and/or haplogroups with elite Japanese athlete status

TL;DR: From sequencing analysis of the control region in the mtDNA, certain mtDNA polymorphisms and haplogroups were shown to be associated with elite Japanese endurance athlete status, prob-ably due to enhanced ATP production by mitochondria in the cardiac and skeletal muscles or both.

Physical Activity And Health: A Report Of The Surgeon General

TL;DR: This report is the first report of the Surgeon General on physical activity and health, and strong evidence is shown to indicate that regular physical activity will provide clear and substantial health gains.

Common SNPs explain a large proportion of the heritability for human height

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that the remaining heritability is due to incomplete linkage disequilibrium between causal variants and genotyped SNPs, exacerbated by causal variants having lower minor allele frequency than the SNPs explored to date.

Changes in Physical Fitness and All-Cause Mortality: A Prospective Study of Healthy and Unhealthy Men

TL;DR: Men who maintained or improved adequate physical fitness were less likely to die from all causes and from cardiovascular disease during follow-up than persistently unfit men.

Twelve type 2 diabetes susceptibility loci identified through large-scale association analysis

Benjamin F. Voight, +183 more
- 01 Jul 2010 - 
TL;DR: By combining genome-wide association data from 8,130 individuals with type 2 diabetes and 38,987 controls of European descent and following up previously unidentified meta-analysis signals, 12 new T2D association signals are identified with combined P < 5 × 10−8.
