BMI = body mass index. RGS and LGS = right and left hand grip strength. STEMP = short-term explosive muscle power. AARG = anaerobic alactic muscular power. VO2max = maximum oxygen uptake.

For each phenotypic characteristic, we report p-values between 12, 23 and 31 groups respectively as indicated in the second column of the table. P-values adjusted for multiple comparisons using the Bonferroni test.

Significant mean differences (p < 0.05) between sports groups and genotype are in bold.
