Supports Frank-Starling recruitment during severe exercise in healthy adults; leaves open relevance to cardiac patients.
Does severe semisupine exercise induce the Frank-Starling effect (increased end-diastolic diameter and stroke dimension) in healthy volunteers?
Severe semisupine exercise elicits the Frank-Starling mechanism in humans, as evidenced by significant increases in end-diastolic diameter and stroke dimension at peak exertion.
Weiss et al. (1979) studied this question.
