Key result
High aerobic fitness in healthy men was associated with lower left ventricular transmural filling pressure at peak exercise compared to low fitness (6 vs. 12 mmHg, P<0.05).
Why the study?
Does high aerobic fitness improve the cardiovascular hemodynamic response to exercise in healthy males?
Population
8 healthy male subjects categorized by aerobic power (VO2max)

Supports superior diastolic compliance with fitness during exercise; leaves open causal effects of training on hemodynamics.
Cross-Sectional (n=8)
Does high aerobic fitness improve the cardiovascular hemodynamic response to exercise in healthy males?
Absolute Event Rate: 6% vs 12%
p-value: p=<0.05
Greater aerobic fitness is associated with lower left ventricular filling pressures during exercise, indicating superior diastolic compliance.
Stickland et al. (2006) conducted a cross-sectional in Healthy (n=8). High aerobic fitness vs. Low aerobic fitness was evaluated on Left ventricular transmural filling pressure (TMFP) at peak exercise (p=<0.05). High aerobic fitness in healthy men was associated with lower left ventricular transmural filling pressure at peak exercise compared to low fitness (6 vs. 12 mmHg, P<0.05).
