The physiological as well as psychological impact of different forms of exercise and physical exercise has been associated with key genetic markers, which can ...

INFLUENCE OF GENETIC FACTORS ON EXERCISE AND TRAINING

Genes have a large influence on muscle size and composition (percentage of fast-twitch and slow-twitch fibers). Because muscle strength is closely related to ...

Physical activity, genes, and lifetime predisposition to chronic disease

Many observational cohort studies have shown that high physical activity during young adulthood or middle age is associated with reduced later life morbidity.

The Science of Fitness: Does Exercise Change Your DNA?

We have the power (and scientific proof) to change how effectively our genes make us fitter and healthier through lifestyle changes and regular exercise.

Genes and Exercise: Does it Matter?

Up to 72% of the difference between performance outcome following a targeted exercise can be due to genotype.

Destined for fitness? The genetic influences on exercise

So, there is evidence of genetically linked variations in what we can expect to happen to our bodies as a result of specific types of exercise.

Genetic Factors Associated With Human Physical Activity: Are Your ...

It seems that even if there is a large genetic component to activity, the link of genetics to activity is not so tight to overcome voluntary ...

Genetic variants related to physical activity or sedentary behaviour

Research shows that part of the variation in physical activity and sedentary behaviour may be explained by genetic factors.
