title: Central circulatory adaptations to exercise training in health and disease.
abstract: Cross-sectional and longitudinal studies are reviewed that address the effects of training on several measures of central circulatory function, including gas exchange, cardiac output, left ventricular structure, and left ventricular function. Responses to training in healthy individuals, athletes, and patients with ischemic cardiovascular disease are compared.
