A very long-distance triathlon is associated with concurrent postrace reductions in pulmonary diffusion capacity and indices of cardiac function in male athletes.
The authors defend their methodology and findings regarding exercise-induced pulmonary impairments and cardiac fatigue following ultra-endurance exercise.
Hédon et al. (Thu,) conducted a letter in Cardiac fatigue and pulmonary alterations. Very long-distance triathlon vs. Baseline (prerace) was evaluated. A very long-distance triathlon is associated with concurrent postrace reductions in pulmonary diffusion capacity and indices of cardiac function in male athletes.
