P
Population
Mammalian myocardium in healthy subjects and post-myocardial infarction heart failure
I
Intervention
Aerobic endurance exercise training
O
Outcome
Improved maximal oxygen uptake, cardiac output, and cardiomyocyte contractility
This review highlights that aerobic exercise training improves maximal oxygen uptake and cardiac output by enhancing the contractile capacity of individual cardiomyocytes in both healthy and failing hearts.
