Article Abstract:

Research findings indicate that body weight and mass index, fat mass, subcutaneous skinfolds, and trunk to skinfolds ratio are inversely proportional to the amount of vigorous physical activities.

Familial resemblance for muscle phenotypes in the HERITAGE family study

Article Abstract:

Research reveals familial aggregation of energy metabolism enzyme activities in the skeletal muscle both in the sedentary state and in response to regular exercise. Data show familial resemblance for Type I fiber area and familial aggregation for energy metabolism enzyme in the sedentary state, while with regard to training response familial aggregation is observed only for enzyme activities.

Apolipoprotein E polymorphism and the relationships of physical fitness to plasma lipoprotein-lipid levels in men and women

Article Abstract:

Being physically fit is associated with a good lipid profile, especially among apo E3 carriers. Apo E polymorphism alters the link between VO 2max and plasma lipoprotein-lipid concentrations. These are the findings of a study of 64 healthy untrained women and 65 matched men who were examined with respect to various lipid profile parameters. Apo E2 carriers had lower plasma triglyceride levels and may respond well to improved fitness.
