TRAINING YOUR HEART HARD
It was a study done by the Journal of
Applied Physiology that looked at a group
of older men (fit) between the ages of 26-
67. These were all individuals who had
been participating in some form of high-endurance
training for a significant period in
their lives. This could have been related to
their time doing national level distance running,
Olympic training, rowing, or being a
marathon participant. These were men who
would have quickly been labeled as “healthy”
by the average person before the study.
The study revealed this wasn’t the case and
the used MRIs to take a look at the heart
and its scarring. While none of the athletes
displayed a severe case of fibrosis, some
of these men did have heart scarring that
would eventually turn into fibrosis. It was
over 50% of the group and fibrosis can lead
to issues such as heart failure and irregular
heart functions, which isn’t something
you’d assume to find in this group.
