Why the study?
Does a 3-month football training programme improve cardiovascular structural and functional echocardiographic parameters in overweight preadolescent children?
Does a 3-month football training programme improve cardiovascular structural and functional echocardiographic parameters in overweight preadolescent children?
Short-term football training in overweight preadolescent children may induce positive structural and functional cardiovascular adaptations, including improved right ventricular systolic function and prevention of blood pressure increases.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support football training for BP and RV adaptations in overweight youth; leaves open causality and durability pending RCTs.
