Abstract
Cardiovascular changes in 18 college athletes during training, compared with 15 controls, can be interpreted as the result of the interplay of basic factors (peripheral resisttance, aortic volume-elasticity, stroke volume and heart rate). The observed effects of athletic training seem to be due to increased elasticity and resting stroke volume associated with a compensating decrease in heart rate. Brachial pulse wave tracings (systolic amplitude) differentiate the athletes from the controls, but do not change by a statistically acceptable amount during training. Changes in the resting heart rate constitute a useful test of the cardiovascular aspect of athletic conditioning, the validity being r = 0.76.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
