Genes and physical fitness

Abstract

What this paper adds? The present article demonstrates the results of studies on the effects of polymorphisms of the angiotensinconverting enzyme (ACE), alpha-actinin-3 (ACTN3), creatine kinase (CKM), mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase subunit (mtND5), insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 3 (IGFBP3) genes on maximal oxygen uptake, which is a physiological aerobic capacity index of high heritability.
