Abstract
Trainability is important in elite sport and in recreational physical activity, and the wide range for response to training is largely dependent on genotype. In this study, we compare a newly developed rat model system selectively bred for low and high gain in running distance from aerobic training to test whether genetic segregation for trainability associates with differences in factors associated with mitochondrial biogenesis. Low response trainer (LRT) and high response trainer (HRT) rats from generation 11 of artificial selection were trained five times a week, 30 min per day for 3 months at 70 % VO2max to study the mitochondrial molecular background of trainability. As expected, we found significant differential for the gain in running distance between LRT and HRT groups as a result of training. However, the changes in VO2max, COX-4, redox homeostasis associated markers (reactive oxygen species (ROS)), silent mating-type information regulation 2 homolog (SIRT1), NAD(+)/NADH ratio, proteasome (R2 subunit), and mitochondrial network related proteins such as mitochondrial fission protein 1 (Fis1) and mitochondrial fusion protein (Mfn1) suggest that these markers are not strongly involved in the differences in trainability between LRT and HRT. On the other hand, according to our results, we discovered that differences in basal activity of AMP-activated protein kinase alpha (AMPKα) and differential changes in aerobic exercise-induced responses of citrate synthase, carbonylated protein, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator-1α (PGC1-α), nuclear respiratory factor 1 (NRF1), mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM), and Lon protease limit trainability between these selected lines. From this, we conclude that mitochondrial biogenesis-associated factors adapt differently to aerobic exercise training in training sensitive and training resistant rats.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate protein polymorphism of the haptoglobin (Hp) and the relationship between Hp phenotypes and anthropometric or biochemical parameters in elite Korean male athletes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Serum samples were collected from 120 Korean male elite athletes. The Hp phenotypes were determined by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, followed by peroxidase staining. Then anthropometric or biochemical measurements were made: body composition, blood pressures, ventilatory responses, cholesterol (total, LDL cholesterol and HDL cholesterol), triglyceride, apolipoprotein A1, lipoprotein (a), creatine phosphokinase and lactate dehydrogenase. RESULTS The gene frequencies of the Hp1-1, Hp2-1 and Hp2-2 phenotypes in Korean male athletes were 12, 37 and 51%, respectively; this polymorphism was significantly associated with the VO(2max) index in the athletes. An excess of the Hp1 allele was also observed in marathon runners compared with the other sporting activities, although it did not have any statistical significance. CONCLUSION Hp polymorphism exists in elite Korean male athletes and Hp phenotype may be a useful marker for endurance performance in these male athletes.

Abstract
PURPOSE The contribution of genetic factors to aerobic capacity is unknown. The purpose of this study was to measure maximal aerobic performance among inbred strains of mice to provide basic heritability estimates. METHODS Eight female mice, 8 to 10 wk old, in 10 inbred strains (A/J, AKR/J, Balb/cJ, C(3)H/HeJ, C57Bl/6J, C57L/J, C(3)Heb/FeJ, CBA/J, DBA/2J, and SWR/J) were run on a treadmill until exhaustion. The protocol started at 22 m.min(-1) and increased in speed approximately 6 m.min(-1) every 4 min. After 4 min at 42.4 m.min(-1), the grade was increased 2% every 4 min thereafter until the mouse could not run off of the shock grid (150 V; 1.5 mA). RESULTS There were significant differences between inbred strains in maximal duration of exercise accomplished (P < 0.0001). The order of strain-specific exercise duration was Balb/cJ > SWR/J > CBA/J > C57L/J > C3H/HeJ > C3Heb/FeJ > C57Bl/6J > AKR/J > DBA/2J > A/J. Two measures of heritability in the broad sense, intraclass correlation (0.73), and the coefficient of genetic determination (0.58) were both significant. CONCLUSION These data indicate that there is a strong genetic contribution to aerobic capacity in mice.

Abstract
This study focused on the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) as the genetic factor most likely to bring about the individual difference in endurance capacity or its trainability. Platelets contain mtDNA but no nuclear DNA, whereas rho(0)-HeLa cells have nuclear DNA but no mtDNA. The oxidative capacity of mitochondria in the cultured cells, which were fused rho(0)-HeLa cell with platelets obtained from individual subjects (the so-called "cybrids"), reflects the individual mtDNA polymorphism in the gene-coding region. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the oxidative capacity of cybrids and the individual difference in endurance capacity, or its trainability. Forty-one sedentary young males took part in an 8-week endurance training program. They were determined by using their VO(2 max) as an index of endurance capacity on an ergocycle before and after the endurance training program. The relations between VO(2 max) before endurance training or the change of it by endurance training and the oxidative capacity of cybrids were investigated. There was no relation between them, and two groups were drawn from all subjects, based on one standard division of their initial VO(2 max): the higher pre-VO(2 max) group (n = 6) and the lower pre-VO(2 max) group (n = 5) (51.8 +/- 3.5 ml/min/kg vs. 33.3 +/- 3.8 ml/min/kg, p < 0.01). No significant difference was found between the O(2) consumption of the cybrids in the higher initial VO(2 max) group and that in the lower initial VO(2 max) group (16.3 +/- 4.9 vs. 15.9 +/- 2.0 nmol O(2)/min/10(7) cells, NS). Furthermore, neither the cytochrome c oxidase (COX) activity nor the complex I + III activity of cybrids showed a significant difference between the two groups. The oxidative capacity of cybrids between the high trainability group (n = 6) (Delta VO(2 max) 12.1 +/- 1.6 ml/min/kg) and the low trainability group (n = 9) (Delta VO(2 max) 2.3 +/- 0.5 ml/min/kg) was also similar. Thus the mtDNA polymorphism is very unlikely to relate to the individual difference in endurance capacity or its trainability in young sedentary healthy subjects.

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to describe the first human gene map for physical performance and health-related fitness traits based on the papers published until the end of 2000. Studies of candidate genes using case-control and other designs are reviewed. Quantitative trait loci from the limited evidence reported to date in genomic scans are also incorporated. Performance and fitness phenotypes in the sedentary state as well as their changes during exercise, if applicable, or in response to exercise training are considered. Physical performance traits include cardiorespiratory endurance indicators and muscular strength or muscular performance variables. Health-related fitness phenotypes are grouped under the following categories: hemodynamic traits; anthropometry and body composition; insulin and glucose metabolism; and lipids, lipoproteins, and hemostatic factors. A yearly update of this human gene map will be published.

Abstract
Regular exercise has been shown to improve control of lipid abnormalities, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and obesity, with the greatest benefits realized by sedentary individuals who begin to exercise. Responses to exercise interventions are often highly variable among individuals, however, and research has indicated that response to exercise may be mediated in large part by variation in genes. As we strive to unravel the complex etiology of diseases like obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease through the use of molecular and genetic tools now available, understanding the interaction and influence of environmental factors, such as exercise, on gene expression and function has taken on increasing importance. This review briefly summarizes strategies presently being used to elucidate genes and genetic effects that may be mediated or influenced by exercise and serves to illustrate the importance of considering the effect of exercise when investigating genes related to health or other physiological outcomes.

Abstract
This study aimed to identify human genomic regions that are linked to maximal oxygen uptake (VO(2 max)) in sedentary individuals or to the responsiveness of VO(2 max) to a standardized endurance training program. The results of a genomic scan based on 289 polymorphic markers covering all 22 pairs of autosomes performed on the Caucasian families of the HERITAGE Family Study are presented. The mean spacing of the markers was 11 cM, and a total of 99 families and 415 pairs of siblings were available for the study. VO(2 max) in the sedentary state was adjusted for the effects of age, sex, body mass, fat mass, and fat-free mass, whereas the VO(2 max) response was adjusted for age and baseline level of the phenotype. Two analytic strategies were used: a single-point linkage procedure using all available pairs of siblings (SIBPAL) and a multipoint variance components approach using all the family data (SEGPATH). Results indicate that linkages at P values of 0.01 and better are observed with markers on 4q, 8q, 11p, and 14q for VO(2 max) before training and with markers on 1p, 2p, 4q, 6p, and 11p for the change in VO(2 max) in response to a 20-wk standardized endurance training program. These chromosomal regions harbor many genes that may qualify as candidate genes for these quantitative traits. They should be investigated in this and other cohorts.
