The Heritage Family Study: An Overview and Selected Results provides a review of a major investigative undertaking that explored the genetic basis (markers) of changes in risk factors for coronary disease, diabetes, hypertension, and other diseases that occur as the result of exercise (20 weeks of aerobic endurance training). Ongoing for a number of years and featuring five of the most renowned medical and exercise science professionals in the world, the study looked at both the familiar resemblances in the research subjects' responses to training and the genes responsible for human variation in these responses to training. The DVD presents a summary of selected results from the study and offers a perspective on the possible relevance on the health of individuals.
