Baseline characteristics of whole sample and genotypes.

Values are means ±S.E. after one-way ANOVA; GT1 = major allele type in PPARGC1A (G/G, wild type), GT2 = homozygous and heterozygous for minor allele frequency in PPARGC1A (A/A, G/A); BM = body mass, BMI = body mass index; VO2-RCP = oxygen uptake at respiratory compensation point (RCP, second ventilatory threshold, aerobic capacity), VO2-peak = peak oxygen uptake at cessation (aerobic power), PRCP = mechanical power at RCP in Watt, Pmax = maximum mechanical power in Watt; SF = slow fibre (MHC slow+/MHC fast-); HF = slow-fast hybrid fibre (MHC slow+/MHC fast+); cap/SF = capillaries per slow fibre; Mito-SF = mitochondria in slow fibre; Mito-FF = mitochondria in fast fibre; Lip-SF = lipid droplets in slow fibre; Lip-FF = lipid droplets in fast fibre; mtDNA = mitochondrial DNA; CS = citrate synthase; C I—V = complex I—V; COX = cytochrome c oxidase; p = significance level between the genotype (GT) groups; ns = not significant.Baseline characteristics of whole sample and genotypes.
