Mean ± SD for the anthropometric and physiological characteristics of the studied 27 subjects as assessed at rest, during one-legged cycling exercise in the morning after an over-night fast, and two-legged cycling exercise on an ergometer. Bold values indicate effects which were deemed significant at p < 0.05. ANOVA for the effects of the ACE I-allele (i.e., genotype) × aerobic fitness (fitness) with post-hoc test of least significant difference.
