[Medical significance and requirements of sports].

Kind and intensity of physical activity with preventive value of degenerative diseases are well known by sports medicine. The core of the problem is the transfer of established knowledge into action and the creation of attractive programs making physical activity an enjoyment and which let us forget the final objective, i.e. prevention of ill health.

Ultrastructure and biochemical function of skeletal muscle in twins.

Muscle biopsies were obtained from eleven pairs of monozygotic and six pairs of dizygotic twins, and maximum oxygen consumption (Vo2) was measured. There were no differences between the two groups of twins in their intra-pair variation, except for two enzyme systems, glyceraldehyde-3P-dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA-dehydrogenase (HAD). The effects of training were assessed by comparing the differences between twins when one member of each pair undertook a 23 week training programme. There were significant differences in VO2 max, heart volume and maximum oxygen pulse after training, and some significant cytological differences. It was concluded that environmental factors were stronger than genetic influences, as far as physical performance was concerned.
