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

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 …

Whether exercise-induced increases in left ventricular mass can alter left ventricular diastolic
function was evaluated by measuring transmitral flow velocities at rest by Doppler …

Two-dimensional echocardiography was used to determine the responses of left ventricular
volumes, ejection fraction and segmental left ventricular motion to supine dynamic exercise …

To define the effects of gender on stroke volume control during upright exercise in normal
subjects, we examined central hemodynamics in 34 men and 27 women during staged …

Fourteen normal subjects and 10 marathon runners were studied using postexercise
echocardiography to assess left ventricular (LV) wall thickness, after-load and systolic …

We aimed to clarify the myocardial adaptation to short-term high-intensity exercise among
trained athletes. We screened 17 participants in the 2004 World Indoor Rowing …

To assess left ventricular structure and function at rest and during exercise in endurance
athletes, 10 elite marathon runners, aged 28 to 37 years, and 10 matched nonathletes were …

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

Dynamically trained athletes develop increased left ventricular (LV) wall mass. To determine
whether this increased wall mass impaired characteristics of LV diastolic filling, serial …
