Key result
Extreme physical training induces physiological cardiovascular adaptations, including increased heart size and augmented brain blood flow, which are reversible after stopping active training.
Extreme physical training induces significant but reversible physiological cardiac adaptations and alters organ hemodynamics and neurohormonal profiles during exercise.

Reversible adaptations in athletes warrant no intervention; leaves open prospective outcome studies.
Hollmann et al. (1986) conducted a review in Athlete's heart. Extreme physical training vs. Untrained individuals was evaluated. Extreme physical training induces physiological cardiovascular adaptations, including increased heart size and augmented brain blood flow, which are reversible after stopping active training.
