Exercise Genomics reviews several of the conditions that are particularly important in the current era, given the existing technologies, to advance the study of human genomics. The DVD discusses the genomic determinants of the proneness to be sedentary, as well as points out the determinants of human variation in muscle growth in response to resistance training. The DVD also addresses the issue of whether a genomic-based diagnostic can be developed to screen those individuals at risk of developing adverse blood pressure response to regular exercise.
