The association between cardiovascular fitness and cognitive performance within brother and twin pairs. r2=adjusted coefficient of determination; b=regression coefficient presented with 95% confidence intervals. Bivariate heritability: By comparing correlation coefficients (r) between dizygotic (DZ) and monozygotic (MZ) twin pairs, bivariate heritability and contribution of shared and non-shared environment for associations between cardiovascular fitness and intelligence scores wee calculated. env=environment.
