Accuracy of prediction equation to estimate submaximal VO (sub)2 during cycle ergometry: the HERITAGE Family Study
Article Abstract:
The equations developed by the HERITAGE Family Study to estimate oxygen consumption were in some ways superior to those produced by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM). The HERITAGE study's best equation was that using only power output, and yielded the most reliable predictions when utilizing pretraining data. Equations for post-training data, whether developed by HERITAGE or the ACSM, were equal in quality.

Linkage between a muscle-specific CK gene marker and VO 2max in the HERITAGE Family study
Article Abstract:
A muscle-specific creatine kinase (CKMM) gene may contribute to individual differences in maximal oxygen uptake responses to endurance training. Genetic linkage was found in 495 members of 98 Caucasian nuclear families. Researchers measured responses to both sedentary status and endurance training.
