Abstract

By studying the impact of different types of exercise in identical and non-identical twin pairs, this thesis found that environmental factors have larger effects than genes on the changes that occur in humans as a result of exercise training. While adaptation to exercise in strength, fitness and heart structure differ greatly between individuals, those who exhibit lower response to one form of training can enhance the benefit of exercise by switching to an alternate form of training. This thesis has implications for personalising and optimising the benefits of exercise to prevent and treat common cardiovascular diseases in humans.
