The Impact of Regular Long Term Physical Load on Cardiovascular Functional Parameters in Children and Adolescent Athletes

Volume 23, Number 1(86) (2013)

Aldona Bartkevičienė, Dalia Bakšienė, Alfonsas Vainoras, Pranas Šerpytis, Geriuldas Žiliukas Abstract Introduction. Regular physical load determines increase in functional capability of cardiovascular system. On the other hand, the cardiovascular system often appears as a conditional factor, which restricts organism adaptive abilities and limits general organism adaptation to the load. During physical load, not only cardiovascular…

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FUNCTIONAL PARAMETERS OF CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM AND LEFT VENTRICULAR MASS IN 12-17 YEARS-OLD ATHLETES

Volume 21, Number 7(79) (2011)

Aldona Bartkevičienė Abstract The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of long-term physical load on changes in left ventricular morphometric and cardiovascular functional parameters, to analyse their relationship in child and adolescent athletes. A total of 167 trained athletes aged 12–17 years and 168 healthy nonathletic children and adolescents aged 12–17 years…
