Why the study?
Does 1 year of exercise training alter resting left ventricular systolic or diastolic function in previously sedentary men?
Population
22 previously sedentary men (16 in exercise group, 6 controls)
Comparison
1 year of exercise training vs No exercise training (control group)
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
1 year

May enhance capacity without resting LV changes in sedentary men; hypothesis-generating for peak-resting cardiac dissociation.
Does 1 year of exercise training alter resting left ventricular systolic or diastolic function in previously sedentary men?
Prolonged exercise training in previously sedentary men significantly improves exercise capacity and cardiac output without altering resting left ventricular dimensions or function.
Sadaniantz et al. (1996) studied this question.
