“…Notably, these factors can also be classified as endogenous factors (factors attributable to the individual such as sex or genotypes) and exogenous factors (factors attributable to external inputs, e.g., generated by exercise prescription) (Sparks, 2017). Currently, the roles of non-modifiable (endogenous) factors such as sex (Barha et al, 2017a, b, 2019; Barha and Liu-Ambrose, 2018; Cobbold, 2018; Loprinzi and Frith, 2018; Dao et al, 2019) and genotypes (Booth and Laye, 2010; Timmons et al, 2010; Timmons, 2011; Bouchard, 2012, 2019; Mann et al, 2014; Bouchard et al, 2015; Jones et al, 2016; Pickering and Kiely, 2017a,b,c, 2018a; Del Coso et al, 2018) are investigated most. Among these factors, it has been shown that a considerable amount (approximately up to half of the variance) of the interindividual heterogeneity in physical outcomes (Bouchard and Rankinen, 2001; Timmons et al, 2010; Davidsen et al, 2011; Timmons, 2011; Bouchard, 2012; Wilson et al, 2019), cognitive outcomes (McClearn, 1997; Goldberg and Weinberger, 2004; Blokland et al, 2008; Erickson et al, 2008; Friedman et al, 2008; Canivet et al, 2015, 2017), and brain structure outcomes (Thompson et al, 2001; Toga and Thompson, 2005; Bueller et al, 2006) are explained by genetics.…”
