Why the study?
Little work had examined changes in left ventricular mechanics following exercise training using new regional and global indexes.
Does 24 weeks of supervised endurance versus resistance exercise training alter left ventricular mechanics in healthy untrained men?
Comparison
24-wk endurance training vs 24-wk resistance training

Supervised endurance or resistance training increases basal rotation without altering most LV strain indices in healthy men; extends understanding of physiological cardiac adaptations to exercise.
Does 24 weeks of supervised endurance versus resistance exercise training alter left ventricular mechanics in healthy untrained men?
24 weeks of intense supervised exercise training (endurance or resistance) increases basal rotation but does not significantly alter most global and regional indexes of LV mechanics in healthy untrained men.
Oxborough et al. (2019) studied this question.
