Blood volume expansion does not explain the increase in peak oxygen uptake induced by 10 weeks of endurance training
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Purpose: The endurance training (ET)-induced increases in peak oxygen uptake (V˙O2peak) and cardiac output (Q˙peak) during upright cycling are reversed to pre-ET levels after removing the training-induced increase in blood ... -
Distinguishing left ventricular hypertrophy from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in adolescents: A longitudinal observation study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Aims: Echocardiographic characteristics to distinguish physiological left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy from pathology are warranted in early adolescent athletes. This study aimed to explore the phenotype, progression, and ... -
From talented child to elite athlete: The development of cardiac morphology and function in a cohort of endurance athletes from age 12 to 18
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background: Adult athletes undergo cardiac adaptions in what is known as the “athlete’s heart”. Cardiac adaptations in young athletes have not been described in longitudinal studies but have previously been believed to be ... -
Objectively measured daily physical activity related to cardiac size in young children
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2008-08-05)Training studies in children have suggested that endurance training can give enlargement of cardiac dimensions. This relationship has not been studied on a population-based level in young children with objective methods. ... -
Young athlete's growing heart: Sex differences in cardiac adaptation to exercise training during adolescence
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background: Athlete’s heart is a condition of exercise-induced cardiac remodelling. Adult male endurance athletes more often remodel beyond reference values. The impact of sex on remodelling through adolescence remains ...
