Article Synopsis
- The research aimed to compare running velocity at ventilatory threshold and VO2max before and after an eight-week exercise program.
- 32 male subjects underwent tests for ventilatory threshold and VO2max on a treadmill both before and after the training program, which involved endurance training three times a week.
- Results showed a significant increase in running velocity at both ventilatory threshold and VO2max, indicating improved endurance and aerobic performance following the training period.
Performing vigorous physical activity means a multiorgan system engagement, but the cardiovascular system plays a critical role. In order to provide enough oxygen to activate muscles during repeated physical activity of high intensity, the heart undergoes profound morphologic, functional and electrophysiological alterations, which have been identified as the "athlete's heart syndrome". "The athlete's heart" is a complex, but not precisely defined concept, anatomically and functionally and in relation to health and disease.
