Hypothesis-generating for enhanced diastolic reserve with training; prospective studies needed to confirm LV effects.
Does moderate exercise training improve left ventricular systolic and diastolic function during dynamic exercise in healthy subjects?
Exercise training enhances peak diastolic filling rate during exercise without altering systolic function, indicating improved diastolic reserve.
Brandão et al. (1993) studied this question.
