1. The human gene map for performance and health-related fitness phenotypes: the 2001 update

Author

Rankinen, Tuomo, Perusse, Louis, Rivera, Miguel, Wolfarth, Bernd, and Bouchard, Claude

Subjects
Physical fitness -- Genetic aspects, Gene mutations -- Physiological aspects, Phenotype -- Identification and classification, Genetic research -- Analysis, Health, Sports and fitness
Abstract

This article reviews current research on the relationship between human genetics and physical fitness levels. An analysis of cardiorespiratory endurance, muscle strength, gene mutation, and body composition measurements is presented.

2. The human gene map for performance and health-related fitness phenotypes

Author

Rankinen, Tuomo, Perusse, Louis, Raurmaa, Rainer, Rivera, Miguel A., Wolfarth, Bernd, and Bouchard, Claude

Subjects
Human genetics -- Research, Health -- Genetic aspects, Physical fitness -- Genetic aspects, Chromosome mapping -- Research, Phenotype -- Research, Health, Sports and fitness
Abstract

This article describes a human gene map used to help identify genetic differences related to physical performance and health. Traits such as endurance, muscular strength, metabolism, hemodynamic characteristics, and body composition are analyzed as genetic variables related to athletic ability and general health.

3. A polymorphism in the alpha(sub 2a)-adenoreceptor gene and endurance athlete status

Author

Wolfarth, Bernd, Rivera, Miguel A., Oppert, Jean-Michel, Boulay, Marcel R., Dionne, France T., Chagnon, Monique, Gagnon, Jacques, Chagnon, Yvon, Perusse, Louis, Keul, Joseph, and Bouchard, Claude

Subjects

Abstract

The alpha 2a-adrenoreceptor gene shows a weak association with high levels of endurance in athletes. Variation in this gene or a location near it may be a significant factor in athletes' abilities to maintain an endurance training regimen designed to produce maximal aerobic power.

4. The human gene map for performance and health-related fitness phenotypes: the 2006-2007 update

Author

Bray, Molly S., Hagbreg, james M., Perusse, Louis, Rankinen, Tuomo, and Roth, Stephen M.

Subjects
Physical fitness -- Genetic aspects, Phenotype -- Research, Chromosome mapping, Health, Sports and fitness
Abstract

An update of gene mapping of phenotypes that are related with physical performance and fitness in 2006-2007 is presented. Eighteen mitochondrial genes are found to have effect on performance and fitness phenotypes. The growing complexity of the gene map is also examined.

5. The human gene map for performance and health-related fitness phenotypes: The 2003 update

Author

Rankinen, Tuomo, Perusse, Louis, Rauramaa, Rainer, Rivera, Miguel A., Wolfarth, Bernd, and Bouchard, Claude

Subjects
Physical fitness -- Genetic aspects, Phenotype -- Research, Chromosome mapping -- Research, Health, Sports and fitness
Abstract

The 2003 update of the human gene map for physical performance and health-related fitness phenotypes is presented. It is based on pear-reviewed papers published by the end of 2003 and includes association studies with candidate genes, genome-wide scans with polymorphic markers, and single-gene defects causing exercise intolerance to variable degrees.
