Association between the PPARa and PPARGCA gene variations and physical performance in non-trained male adolescents.

The purpose of the research was to examine if some genetic variations are associated with some endurance, power and speed performances (multi-stage 20-m shuttle run, standing broad jump, 20 m sprint test and Abalakov jump) in a group of 586 non-trained male adolescents (mean ± SD age: 13.20 ± 0.25 years).
