Key result
Concurrent endurance and strength training for 10 weeks caused the largest increases in left ventricular internal dimension and wall thickness in young female athletes.
Why the study?
Do different training regimens (endurance, strength, concurrent) affect left ventricular structure and function in young female athletes?

Concurrent endurance and strength training for 10 weeks induces the most significant structural echocardiographic adaptations (athlete's heart) in young female athletes.

May promote greater LV remodeling with concurrent training in young female athletes; extends prior data but leaves open clinical relevance.
Farahani et al. (2013) studied Healthy athletes (n=45). Endurance, strength, and concurrent training regimens vs. Compared among groups was evaluated on Left ventricular structure and function. Concurrent endurance and strength training for 10 weeks caused the largest increases in left ventricular internal dimension and wall thickness in young female athletes.
