Individual differences in response to regular physical activity
Article Abstract:
This article investigates factors associated with individual differences in responses to controlled physical training. Findings indicate that sex, race, and age do not influence training responses but familial factors like shared environment and genetic similarities contribute to training response differences.

Heart rate versus %VO(sub 2max): age, sex, race, initial fitness and training response - heritage
Article Abstract:
A study was done of the Heritage family in a standardized 20 wk training program to investigate whether genetic factors influenced the response to training. It revealed that heart rate (HR) at a given %VO(sub 2max) was not affected by training in a large heterogeneous group of men and women, blacks and white, who varied in fitness, age and response to training.

The human gene map for performance and health-related fitness phenotypes: The 2005 update
Article Abstract:
The 2005 update of the human gene map for physical performance and health related fitness phenotypes are presented. It is shown that little progress is made in the 12 months with respect to the genetic basis of human variation in performance and health-related fitness.
