Effects of long term resistance training on left ventricular morphology.
Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To assess the effects of long term (mean +/- SD 10+/-5 years, range three to 25 years) resistance training on left ventricular (LV) dimensions and mass.
METHODS AND RESULTS: The study participants were 21 elite male power-lifters (age 33.4+/-5.9 years) and 10 sedentary male control subjects (age 30.9+/-4.2 years). Two-dimensionally guided transthoracic M-mode echocardiograms were obtained at rest to quantify LV diastolic cavity …
