The Claim
Among Chinese Han adults undergoing 12 weeks of twice-weekly resistance training, individuals carrying the rs731236-AA genotype experience greater improvements in isokinetic leg strength and vertical jump power than those carrying the AG genotype, with this difference being more pronounced in women, indicating genotype-specific variations in neuromuscular adaptation to resistance exercise.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
People in China with a specific gene version (AA) who do leg workouts twice a week for 12 weeks get stronger and jump higher than those with a different gene version (AG), especially if they’re women.
See the scientific wording
In Chinese Han adults undergoing 12 weeks of twice-weekly resistance training, carriers of the rs731236-AA genotype show greater improvements in isokinetic leg strength and vertical jump power compared to AG carriers, particularly in women, suggesting genotype-specific differences in neuromuscular adaptation to resistance exercise.
What the research says
1 studyStudy: VDR Gene Polymorphisms and Inter-Individual Variability in Response to Resistance Training.
The study found that Chinese adults with a specific gene version (AA) got stronger and jumped higher after weight training than those with another version (AG), especially in women—exactly what the claim says.
