The purpose of this investigation was to determine if echocardiographic measures of
ventricular structure and function ascribed to aerobic training might be an artifact of heart …

Dynamic endurance training is associated with an increased left ventricular internal
diameter and a more or less proportional increase in wall thickness. An isometric component …

Echocardiography was employed to measure the serial effects of jogging on resting left
ventricular dimensions and function. Twelve men were exercised (mean age 36.8 yr) and 10 …

Adaptive cardiac responses to isotonic training were studied with echocardiographic
measurement of cardiac dimensions and function in 20 endurance runners whose maximal …

Echocardiographic measurements in 90 successful athletes were compared with data from
untrained subjects and patients with hypertension and cardiomyopathy. The athletes …

The effects of endurance training have been extensively studied in athletes, but longitudinal
studies of exercise-induced cardiac changes in normal patients are limited. To assess the …

We compared the echocardiographic assessment of left ventricular function in 20 aerobically
trained male athletes (VO2 max 61 ml/kg/min) with 20 control subjects of similar age and …

The purpose of this study was to determine whether high intensity, long-term aerobic training
causes the left ventricle to develop different mechanisms for increasing cardiac output …

The purpose of this study was to assess noninvasively the effects of intense aerobic training
on cardiac structure and function in a group of healthy, college-age men (25 experimental …

This investigation examines the hypothesis that athletes increase stroke volume with
submaximal exercise through an augmentation of left ventricular (LV) end-diastolic volume …
