(Studies in Sport, Physical education and health ISSN 0356-1070; 194) ISBN 978-951-39-5208-2 (nid.) ISBN 978-951-39-5209-9 (PDF) Finnish summary Diss. If an individual is physically active or inactive, then this may have a major impact on health and disease development. In this thesis, the associations between longterm leisure-time physical activity vs. inactivity and health outcomes were studied among 16 middle-aged and older twin pairs (7 were monozygotic pairs who share all of their genes at the sequence level) with a persistent discordance in their leisure-time physical activity habits. At the end of the follow-up, clinical exercise test with cycle ergometer, maximal isometric knee extensor force, and body composition were assessed. Visceral fat area, liver fat score and thigh composition were measured using MRI. The results revealed that the physically active twins had 23% higher VO2peak values than their inactive co-twins but also 20% higher knee extensor forces although no further significant intrapair differences in skeletal muscle properties were found. The follow-up weight gain was attenuated among the physically active twins but there was no significant intrapair difference in body weight at the end of the follow-up (p=0.12). However, the inactive twins had significantly more body fat, 1.5 times more visceral and midthigh intramuscular (extramyocellular) fat and a higher liver fat score compared to their active co-twins. The intrapair difference in the level of ectopic fat was also significant among monozygotic cotwins. To further understand the underlying mechanisms, biopsies were taken from m. vastus lateralis and abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue from 10 volunteer pairs for the gene expression analysis. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis revealed up-regulated metabolic pathways (such as oxidative phosphorylation and valine, leucine and isoleucine degradation) among the active compared to the inactive twins. The expression centroids of these gene sets were associated with cardio-metabolic risk factors, including fitness. In conclusion, long-term leisure-time physical activity is associated with a better physical fitness and in particular with a lowered rate of ectopic fat accumulation. Therefore regular long-term leisure-time physical activity may confer a major benefit in combatting the appearance of cardio-metabolic disease." @default.
