Hereditary influence on muscular adaptations to resistance training in young men of African vs European ancestry
Summary
This study investigates whether DNA-classified African versus European ancestry influences baseline muscularity, physical performance, and adaptations to a 9-week supervised resistance training program in previously untrained young men. The research examines hereditary factors in muscle growth and strength development, comparing outcomes between ancestry groups to understand genetic contributions to training adaptations.
