Angiogenesis for endurance adaptation.
| Genotype | Impact | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| GG (Normal) | Normal | Higher VEGF better capillarization with training |
| GC (Carrier) | Low impact | Intermediate VEGFA expression. Moderate angiogenic capacity. Diets rich in polyphenols (berries, dark cocoa, green tea) support healthy vascular function. |
| CC (Variant) | Moderate | CC genotype, lower VEGF expression and blunted angiogenic response to training. Combine endurance and strength training; ensure adequate nitric-oxide precursors (beetroot, leafy greens). |
