Cite This Study
Sharma et al. (2011) conducted an editorial in Exercise-induced arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy. Intensive exercise vs. Sedentary counterparts or modest exercise was evaluated. This editorial discusses the concept that intensive exercise, resulting in workloads of 200-300 METS per week, may exert a detrimental effect in individuals with normal hearts.
