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...

The Limits of Exercise Physiology: From Performance to Health.

TL;DR: Some of the historical milestones of exercise physiology are reviewed, how these inform contemporary knowledge, and speculate on future questions are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Do Non-Responders to Exercise Exist—and If So, What Should We Do About Them?

TL;DR: It is suggested that it is unlikely that global non-responders to exercise exist, and this insight serves to encourage health professionals to create more nuanced, efficacious, and individually-focused exercise prescriptions designed to circumvent and overcome apparent non-responsiveness.

Genes to predict VO2max trainability: a systematic review

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dose–response relationship of cardiorespiratory fitness adaptation to controlled endurance training in sedentary older adults

TL;DR: The authors' data provide quantitative insight into the magnitude of VO2max alterations as affected by exercise intensity, duration, frequency, and program length, and the shapes of the dose–response curves are not simply linear, but with many similar trends and noteworthy characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Twin-sibling study and meta-analysis on the heritability of maximal oxygen consumption

TL;DR: The authors found that large individual differences exist in aerobic fitness in childhood and adolescence, but the relative contribution of genetic factors to this variation remains to be established. In a sample of adol...

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
