Twins - Same Exercise, Different Reaction - Medical Study

Do you think your genes determine everything about you? Perhaps not as much as you think. They do have an influence, but there are many factors that go into determining who people are. Medical researchers at the University of Western Australia in Perth and the University of Melbourne studied twins and watched how they reacted to two different forms of exercise: endurance training and strength training.

Channel Dad Bryon Lape reads an article by Gretchen Reynolds for the Irish Times. Gretchen herself is a twin, she does not state whether identical or fraternal, covers what Daniel Green, Channa Marsh, and Hannah Thomas learned in their study involving both identical and fraternal twins. Bryon Lape is quite incredulous to what was assumed and how that didn't pan out.

What do you think of this study by Daniel Green, Channa Marsh, and Hannah Thomas of the University of Western Australia in Perth and the University of Melbourne? Do you agree or disagree with their findings? What do you think of Channel Dad Bryon Lape's response to this article? What other points could Gretchen Reynolds have made?

Perhaps the best realization of the study is performing strength training does build endurance and can be measured. Mark Rippetoe has been saying this for years and has adapted it into his Starting Strength routines.
