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.

Continuous Cardiac Autonomic and Hemodynamic Responses to Isometric Exercise
Purpose: Elevated arterial blood pressure (BP) is associated with autonomic dysfunction and impaired hemodynamic control mechanisms. Isometric exercise (IE) training has been demonstrated effective at reducing BP; however, the continuous cardiovascular responses during IE are underinvestigated. We hypothesized that reflex autonomic cardiovascular control is an important mediator in reducing BP. To test our hypothesis, we investigated continuous cardiac autonomic modulation and baroreceptor reflex sensitivity (BRS) in response to IE. Methods: Twenty-five prehypertensive participants performed a single IE wall squat trainin...

Cardiovascular considerations in middle-aged athletes at risk for coronary artery disease.
This article reviews exercise-related risks for sudden death and the performance of a global cardiovascular risk assessment. The need for additional preexercise risk stratification with electrocardiogram, graded exercise testing, or echocardiography is outlined. In addition, the optimum choice of medications for hypertension or dyslipidemia treatment and the effects of these medications and aspirin on endurance exercise are reviewed.
