Why the study?

Does endurance training alter the dynamic right ventricular and atrial volume responses to exercise in healthy individuals?

Population

33 healthy individuals (20 endurance-trained [9 women] and 13 untrained matched for age and sex)

Comparison

Moderate and vigorous exercise evaluated by… vs Untrained healthy individuals and resting state

Design

Cross-sectional

Overview

LV volumes decrease during exercise regardless of training status; extends simultaneous four-chamber assessment but leaves open clinical translation.

Structured PICO

Does endurance training alter the dynamic right ventricular and atrial volume responses to exercise in healthy individuals?

P
Population
33 healthy individuals (20 endurance-trained [9 women] and 13 untrained matched for age and sex)
I
Intervention
Moderate and vigorous exercise evaluated by real-time cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR)
C
Comparator
Untrained healthy individuals (for group comparison) and resting state (for exercise comparison)
O
Outcome
Volume responses of the four cardiac chambers (LV and RV end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes, stroke volumes, and maximal/minimal LA and RA volumes) measured at end expirationsurrogate

Endurance-trained individuals exhibit distinct right ventricular and right atrial volume reductions during exercise compared to untrained individuals, highlighting specific right-sided cardiac adaptations to training.
