LV remodeling in endurance athletes occurs without increased resting fatty acid oxidation; leaves open dynamic metabolic adaptations.
Does endurance training increase myocardial fatty acid utilization at rest in male subjects?
Endurance-trained athletes exhibit significant left ventricular longitudinal remodeling without a compensatory increase in resting myocardial fatty acid utilization compared to sedentary controls.
Turpeinen et al. (1996) studied this question.
