Supports physiological LV remodeling with training in young men; leaves open applicability to older or clinical populations.
Does a six-month physical training program alter left ventricular resting volumes, mass, and dimensions in young and healthy non-athletic males?
A six-month exercise training program in healthy young men significantly increases left ventricular mass and end-diastolic volume, which correlate with improvements in maximal oxygen uptake.
Poelnitz et al. (1987) studied this question.
