Mean subject characteristics for the participants in the studies from which biopsy samples were obtained. Shown parameters are age (years), height (cm), weight (kg), and BMI (kg/m2) for all subjects. V̇O2max (ml/kg/min) is shown for endurance athlete subjects. Data are displayed as mean ± SD. * = P < 0.05 vs. EA. ** = P < 0.01 vs. EA. *** = P < 0.0001 vs. EA.
