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

LV volumes decrease during exercise regardless of training status; extends simultaneous four-chamber assessment but leaves open clinical translation.
Does endurance training alter the dynamic right ventricular and atrial volume responses to exercise in healthy individuals?
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.
Östenson et al. (2026) studied this question.
