(1) This study failed to show chest contour (structure) a predictor of an individual's ability to perform cardiovascular work.

(2) Structure and function are inseparable. However, structure and performance in humans may be quite variable.

(3) Performance equals function plus "E," a very important factor, which consists of inherent ability, training, the urge, desire and determination to accomplish, to conquer, to win, and for which there is no known laboratory test.

(4) In humans, structure and function and structure and performance are not synonymic.
