Does endurance training induce structural changes of the heart in athletes and animal models?
Endurance training induces positive structural adaptations in the heart, such as increased left ventricular mass and dimensions, which may enhance cardiac pumping capacity.
Asim Cengiz (2014) reported a review. Endurance training was evaluated on Structural adaptations of the heart (LV mass, wall thickness, chamber size). Endurance training induces structural adaptations of the heart, including increased left ventricular mass, wall thickness, and chamber size, which may enhance cardiac function.
