Key result
Highly intensive exercises in young university students resulted in elevated left ventricular volumes and reduced myocardial strains compared to normal controls.

Does highly intensive exercise affect left ventricular volumes and myocardial strains in young university students?
Highly intensive exercise in university athletes is associated with elevated left ventricular volumes and reduced myocardial strains, particularly in symptomatic individuals, though values remain within non-pathological ranges.

Should not yet change training practices in young athletes; leaves open prognostic implications of reduced strains.
=0.004) than the normal control participants. Symptomatic excised participants showed reduced peak strains compared to both asymptomatic participants and normal controls. Only a circumferential diastolic peak strain rate was reduced when compared between asymptomatic cases and controls. In conclusions, highly intensive exercises could result in elevated left ventricular volumes and reduced myocardial strains for young university students. Furthermore, reduced myocardial strains were found for those symptomatic cases which remain within non-pathological ranges.

Liang et al. (2025) conducted an observational in Cardiac remodeling in university athletes. Highly intensive exercises vs. Normal controls was evaluated on Left ventricular volumes and myocardial strains (p=0.004). Highly intensive exercises in young university students resulted in elevated left ventricular volumes and reduced myocardial strains compared to normal controls.
