High-intensity endurance training does not alter age-related LVDF impairment in older men; extends moderate-training observations but leaves effects on atrial filling open.
Does high-intensity endurance exercise training alter normative aging effects on left ventricular diastolic filling in older males compared to a sedentary lifestyle?
High-intensity endurance exercise training in older men promotes exceptional cardiovascular stamina but does not appear to alter the normative aging effects on left ventricular diastolic function.
