Multiple epidemiological studies document that habitual physical activity reduces the risk of
atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), and most demonstrate progressively lower …

Aerobic exercise training leads to cardiovascular changes that markedly increase aerobic
power and lead to improved endurance performance. The functionally most important …

“The physiologic capabilities of the heart are enormous, and in judging the effect of any
undue exertion on it, we must not regard the murmurs of the irregularity alone, but must also …

This prospective, longitudinal study examined the effects of participation in team-based
exercise training on cardiac structure and function. Competitive endurance athletes (EA, n …

Early investigations in the late 1890s and early 1900s documented cardiac enlargement in
athletes with above-normal exercise capacity and no evidence of cardiovascular disease …

As early as 1975, Morganroth and colleagues hypothesized that the cardiac morphological
adaptation observed in athletes corresponded with the nature of the haemodynamic …

Exercise has a myriad of physiological benefits that derive in part from its ability to improve
cardiometabolic health. The periodic metabolic stress imposed by regular exercise appears …

Aims Transient systolic and diastolic abnormalities in ventricular function have previously
been documented during endurance sports. However, these described alterations may be …

Although exercise training-induced changes in left ventricular (LV) structure are well
characterized, adaptive functional changes are incompletely understood. Detailed …

Aims To determine the impact of endurance training (ET) interventions on left ventricular
(LV) chamber size, wall thickness, and mass in healthy adults. Methods and results …
