- Moderate-intensity exercise has beneficial effects on cardiovascular health, while long-term high-intensity training may increase the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) in male and veteran athletes.

- More research is necessary to understand the causes and management of AF specifically in athletes and to improve their health outcomes.
