The effects of genetic background on exercise performance in .

The use of the model for studying the broad beneficial effects of exercise training has grown over the past decade. As work using as an exercise model becomes more widespread, the influence of genetic background on performance should be examined in order to better understand its influence on assessments used to quantitatively measure and compare exercise phenotypes. In this article, we review the various methods of exercise training , and the performance of different wild-type strains on various physiological assessments of exercise response. We conclude by summarizing the performance trends of commonly used strains.
