Number of individuals with complete genotype and phenotype data , their mean age (SD), mean weekly MET hours for the three combinations of alleles (SD; the number of individuals across the three allele codings), minor allele frequencies (MAF), the value of the test for Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium (HWE), and the value of the main effect of the variant on exercise behavior, for each SNP/VNTR separately.
