May indicate LV remodeling with concurrent training; extends cohort observations but leaves open causal effects and clinical relevance.
Does high-intensity rowing and combined strength and endurance training alter left ventricular systolic function and morphology in male subjects?
High-intensity rowing acutely increases LV systolic function, and 10 weeks of combined strength and endurance training induces structural adaptations including increased LV diastolic cavity size, wall thickness, and mass.
duManoir et al. (2007) studied this question.
