The human gene map for performance and health-related fitness phenotypes: The 2004 update
Article Abstract:
A subset of the 2004 update of the human gene map project focueses on physical performance and health-related fitness phenotypes. Information on peer-reviewed papers on this topic published in 2004 is presented. The genes and markers for sedentary people, people beginning sports training and very seasoned athletes are discusses. These genes and markers are positioned on the genetic map of all autosomes and the X chromosome.

The human gene map for performance and health-related fitness phenotypes
Article Abstract:
New research techniques in the fields of human genetics and physiology have provided insight into the genetic factors underlying health and physical performance. A complete map of human genes related to these traits provides advanced knowledge on the genes and polymorphisms that influence athletic differences and encourages future research.

Regrowth of skeletal muscle atrophied from inactivity
Article Abstract:
The regrowth of skeletal muscle atrophied from physical inactivity and on the changes that occur with inactivity-induced atrophy is described. It was revealed that mechanisms of skeletal muscle regrowth such as the contribution of satellite cells and calcineurin differed among the muscles from juvenile, adult and old subjects.
