Enhanced left ventricular performance in endurance trained older men.
BACKGROUND The age-associated decline in aerobic exercise capacity is partially reversible by endurance exercise training. Moderate-intensity endurance exercise training increases aerobic exercise capacity mediated, in part, by improvement of stroke volume and left ventricular performance in older men. The present study was designed to characterize the nature of cardiovascular adaptations to st...
متن کاملEnhanced endothelial vasoreactivity in endurance-trained older men.
Using external vascular ultrasound, we measured brachial artery diameter (Diam) at rest, after release of 4 min of limb ischemia, i. e., endothelium-dependent dilation (EDD), and after sublingual nitroglycerin, i.e., non-endothelium-dependent dilation (NonEDD), in 35 healthy men aged 61-83 yr: 12 endurance athletes (A) and 23 controls (C). As anticipated, treadmill exercise maximal oxygen consu...
متن کاملEnhanced endothelium-dependent vasodilation in older endurance-trained men.
We hypothesized that abnormal endothelium-dependent vasodilation (EDD) found in older otherwise healthy subjects can be attenuated with long-term endurance training. Ten endurance-trained men, 68.5 +/- 2.3 yr old, and 10 healthy sedentary men, 64.7 +/- 1.4 yr old, were studied. Aerobic exercise capacity (VO(2 max)), fasting plasma cholesterol, insulin, and homocysteine concentrations were measu...
متن کاملEffect of ultra-endurance exercise on left ventricular performance and plasma cytokines in healthy trained men.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of ultra-endurance exercise on left ventricular (LV) performance and plasma concentration of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, IL-18 and tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) as well as to examine the relationships between exercise-induced changes in plasma cytokines and those in echocardiographic indices of LV function in ultra-marathon runners. ...
متن کاملExpanded blood volumes contribute to the increased cardiovascular performance of endurance-trained older men.
To determine whether expanded intravascular volumes contribute to the older athlete's higher exercise stroke volume and maximal oxygen consumption (VO2 max), we measured peak upright cycle ergometry cardiac volumes (99mTc ventriculography) and plasma (125I-labeled albumin) and red cell (NaCr51) volumes in 7 endurance-trained and 12 age-matched lean sedentary men. The athletes had approximately ...
