May support LV adaptation to endurance training in young men; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Does incremental endurance exercise training alter left ventricular mechanics in healthy young men?
Incremental endurance exercise training in healthy young men leads to structural and functional adaptations, including increased LV systolic strain and twist.
Aksakal et al. (2013) studied this question.
