Targeted SNP Interrogation to Determine if Select Polymorphisms are Associated with Skeletal Muscle Hypertrophy Following 12 Weeks of Resistance Training

Introduction We aimed to determine if candidate genetic polymorphisms were associated with resistance training‐induced changes in skeletal muscle hypertrophy variables. Methods Two cohorts of predominantly Caucasian college‐aged male participants (N=109; n=66: Auburn, AL, USA; n=43: Hamilton, Ontario, Canada) performed 12 weeks of progressive full‐body resistance training (3–4 days/week). Vastus lateralis muscle biopsies and dual x‐ray …
