Heritability of body size and muscle strength in young adulthood: a study of one million Swedish men
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
It was showed that genetic factors affect muscle strength and part of these genes are common to different strength indicators and body size and that extra variation may exist in general populations not found in twin samples.
