From the authors: “We conclude that the prominent genes and pathways contributing to human variability in [intrinsic submaximal physical working capacity] and [trainability] are markedly different from each other.”

This study is highlighted as one of November’s “best of the best” as part of the American Physiological Society's APSselect program.
