In a sedentary population, resting blood pressure and heart rate show significant heritability (32-54%), similar to the general population, suggesting genetic factors play a strong role even when physical activity is controlled.

Heritability estimates for resting BP and HR in sedentary adults align with general populations; hypothesis-generating for genetic influences on hemodynamics.
