AMPD1

The VO2max is a numerical measurement of the body's ability to consume oxygen and partially influenced by genetics.

The GG genotype is associated with a favourable VO2max training response. This means you may see satisfactory and quicker improvements in VO2max with regular exercise.

Carriers with the AG genotype at the C34T AMPD1 gene have diminished exercise capacity and cardiorespiratory responses to exercise. The VO2max is a numerical measurement of the body's ability to consume oxygen and partially influenced by genetics. The AA genotype is associated with an impaired VO2max training response. This means you may see smaller improvements or improvements may take longer to occur, compared to the general population. This genotype is associated with a lower relative increase in peakVO2, a lower stroke volume, and lower power output.
