London, February 5 -- Wonder why you don’t feel any fitter even after spending hours sweating out in the gym? It may be down to some genes you inherited from your parents, say researchers.
The study suggests that health benefits of physical activity could be strongly linked to our genes and can substantially vary between individuals.
The researchers are hopeful that findings could pave the way for alternative treatments such as a simple blood test that could suggest whether one should take up strenuous physical activity or focus on other ways of staying healthy such as through diet, medication etc.
