Abstract

The article discusses the main variants of the "athletic" heart: the eccentric type of left ventricular hypertrophy and the concentric type of left ventricular hypertrophy. The mechanisms of regulation of heart rate and left ventricular ejection fraction are discussed depending on the level of physical activity, the mechanism of ATP resynthesis and oxygen consumption.

Key words: left ventricular hypertrophy, eccentric and concentric type, ejection fraction, aerobic and anaerobic exercise.
