The Human Gene Map for Performance and Health-Related Fitness Phenotypes: The 2006-2007 Update.

The article provides information on the research advances which was reported in 2006 and 2007 regarding the human gene map for physical performance and health-related fitness phenotypes. It provides a brief discussion on the nature of the evidence and on what to look for in assessing human genetic studies related to fitness and performance. It discusses the reviewed findings of the related studies published in 2006 and 2007, which are added to the appropriate tables that are designed to become the cumulative summary of all publications with positive genetic associations available for a given phenotype and study design.
