Objectives Persistent or late-onset cardiopulmonary symptoms following COVID-19 may occur in athletes despite a benign initial course. We examined the yield of cardiac evaluation, including exercise testing (CPET), with after COVID-19, compared CPETs these and those without evaluated longitudinal changes CPET improvement symptoms. Methods This prospective cohort study young (18–35 years old) referred for that were present>28 days from diagnosis. findings post-COVID matched reference group...
Contemporary understanding of exercise-induced cardiac remodeling is based on cross-sectional data and relatively short duration longitudinal studies. Temporal progression remains incompletely understood.A repeated-measures study design using 2-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography was used to examine acute augmentation phase (AAP; 90 days) more extended chronic maintenance (39 months) left ventricular (LV) structural functional adaptations endurance exercise training among...
Background/aim The international governing body for competitive rowing recently mandated the inclusion of 12-lead ECG during preparticipation screening. We therefore sought to describe normative characteristics and examine prevalence abnormal findings as defined by contemporary athlete interpretation criteria among rowers. Methods Competitive rowers (n=330, 56% male) underwent standard at time collegiate ECGs were analysed quantitatively develop a sport-specific database then presence...
Despite the worldwide popularity of running as a sport for children, relatively little is known about its impact on injury and illness. Available studies have focused adolescent athletes, but these findings may not be applicable to preadolescent pubescent athletes. To date, there are no evidence or consensus-based guidelines identifying risk factors illness in youth runners, current recommendations regarding suitable distances runners at different ages opinion based. The International...
<h3>Importance</h3> Aortic dilatation is frequently encountered in clinical practice among aging endurance athletes, but the distribution of aortic sizes this population unknown. It additionally uncertain whether may represent adaptation to long-term exercise, similar well-established process ventricular remodeling. <h3>Objective</h3> To assess prevalence masters-level male and female athletes with about 2 decades exercise exposure. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This cross-sectional...
Significance Unlike other great apes, humans evolved multisystem capabilities for moderate-intensity EPA, but it is unknown if selection acted similarly on the heart. We present data from a sample of humans, chimpanzees, and gorillas showing that human (LV) numerous features help to augment stroke volume (SV), enabling EPA. also show phenotypic plasticity LV trades off pressure adaptations capabilities, becoming more similar chimpanzee-like heart in response physical inactivity or chronic...
Masters athletes (MAs), people over the age of 35 that participate in competitive sports, are a rapidly growing population may be uniquely at risk for cardiovascular (CV) disease. The objective this study was to develop comprehensive clinical CV profile MA.An electronic Internet-based survey (survey response rate = 66 %) used characterize community cohort MAs residing Eastern Massachusetts, USA. Clinical and lifestyle factors associated with prevalent disease were determined using logistic...
