May warrant extended recovery monitoring after intense endurance exercise; leaves open long-term clinical implications for athletes.
Does heavy-intensity cycling compared to moderate-intensity cycling alter functional and biochemical cardiac perturbations in healthy males?
Heavy-intensity endurance exercise induces greater and longer-lasting reductions in ventricular strain and increases in cardiac troponin compared to work-matched moderate-intensity exercise.
Stewart et al. (2016) studied this question.
