Fitness experts work from perspective of how we evolved, genetic make-up & how exercise affects genome. Phenotype = measurable traits/characteristics of someone some are controlled by genes, others by genes + environmental factors, others shaped entirely by environmental factors. Ie: blue eyes, aggressive behaviour, language (respectively) Nature vs nurture debate = importance of innate qualities vs personal experiences in. Relationship between genotype and phenotype genotype + environment = phenotype determining or causing differences in physical & behavioural traits, as well as health enviro leads to disease (poor phenotype) remain healthy. Some researchers argue that genotype is programmed to be active, and living in a sedentary.
