Comparative study of cardiorespiratory adaptations in elite basketball players of different age groups.

CONCLUSIONS: The increased LVM is attributed to concentric hypertrophy. This is further supported by the finding that there was no relationship between V̇ O2max and echo parameters. The results of the present study indicate that the cardiorespiratory adaptations caused by basketball training are mainly formed in the early age stages without further increase throughout the years of action.
