Das Sportherz - die natürliche Kardiomegalie: Welche Erkenntnisse können als gesichert gelten?

Journal/Book: Ärztezeitschrift für Naturheilverfahren. 1993; 34/12: 965-979.

Abstract: The athlete's heart, first described nearly 100 years ago, was considered for a long time as pathologically damaged. Physiological examinations, animal studies and comparisons between wild and domesticated animals however could prove the athlete's heart as natural physiological enlargement of the heart, paralleling a wider range of physiological capacity. After termination of competition and competitive training the sports-induced morphological adaptations return to normal range as a rule.
