“…The results indicated that the group of former athletes had a higher frequency of hemodynamically significant asystolic pauses (p=0.044), SA node blocks (p=0.02) and required the implantation of permanent pacemakers. The same study indicates a higher frequency of arrhythmias in athletes who have had longer careers in high-load sports as well as the association of cardiac muscle hypertrophy with the length of sports career (Zadvorev et al, 2018). Åsmul et al (2017) on the sample of divers found a higher incidence of high blood pressure, i.e.…”

“…The amount of current physical activity and free time was inversely proportional to the prevalence (frequency) of hypertension in later life. Zadvorev et al (2018) observed the frequency of cardiac arrhythmias and blood flow conduction in professional athletes after the end of their careers and compared them with the standard population. The results indicated that the group of former athletes had a higher frequency of hemodynamically significant asystolic pauses (p=0.044), SA node blocks (p=0.02) and required the implantation of permanent pacemakers.…”

The benefits of sports activities on almost all physiological systems are immense and of wide spectrum. However, a large number of recent studies deals with the consequences of long-term professional engagement in sports activities and present opposite results. The review was based on the assumption that intense physical activity to which top athletes are exposed brings with it changes in the cardiovascular system. The methodological procedure has included a review of previous research through the Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science search engines over the past twenty years. Athletes who have played endurance sports have lower blood pressure values compared to athletes who have played strength sports, as well as compared to the non-athlete population. Athletes who have been involved in strength sports have more pronounced left ventricular values. As a general conclusion, it can be pointed out that intense physical activity contributes to changes in the cardiovascular system, but further monitoring of the athlete’s condition is needed after a professional career, in order to obtain even clearer results, because sport is performed at an extremely intensive level, higher than 50-60 years ago.

Introduction Strengthening research on cardiac function risk assessment in running sports is beneficial to prevent sport-related cardiovascular injuries and sudden deaths in sports. Objective To study changes in cardiovascular response in athletes after long-distance running. Methods Changes in cardiovascular response indicators of long-distance runners before and after the five-kilometer race were monitored. Analyzed indices included heart rate, blood pressure, hemoglobin, and a cardiac function index. Results There were no statistically significant differences in heart rate, blood pressure, and hemoglobin levels before and after the long-distance run (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the proportion of sinus arrhythmia before and after long-distance running (P>0.05). Conclusion Long-distance running did not cause abnormal changes in blood indicators. No cardiovascular discomfort or changes in the electrocardiogram, heart rate, blood pressure, hemoglobin, and cardiac function index were reported. These young men were not enlisted, despite undergoing adaptive training. In conclusion, the five-kilometer run is safe for young men in the reserve. Evidence Level II; Therapeutic Studies - Investigating the result.

“…In the same way, first-degree atrioventricular block and second-degree type 1 atrioventricular block are considered normal in highly trained athletes in the absence of symptoms and with regress during effort [ 65 ]. However, some data suggest that former and veteran athletes show a significantly higher frequency of conduction disorder and hemodynamically significant asystolic pauses that require pacemaker implantation in comparison with age-matched controls [ 66 , 67 , 68 ]. Usually, these electrical alterations in athletes are considered due to increased vagal tone [ 69 ].…”

The positive effects of physical activity are countless, not only on the cardiovascular system but on health in general. However, some studies suggest a U-shape relationship between exercise volume and effects on the cardiovascular system. On the basis of this perspective, moderate-dose exercise would be beneficial compared to a sedentary lifestyle, while very high-dose physical activity would paradoxically be detrimental. We reviewed the available evidence on the potential adverse effects of very intense, prolonged exercise on the cardiovascular system, both acute and chronic, in healthy athletes without pre-existing cardiovascular conditions. We found that endurance sports activities may cause reversible electrocardiographic changes, ventricular dysfunction, and troponin elevation with complete recovery within a few days. The theory that repeated bouts of acute stress on the heart may lead to chronic myocardial damage remains to be demonstrated. However, male veteran athletes with a long sports career show an increased prevalence of cardiovascular abnormalities such as electrical conduction delay, atrial fibrillation, myocardial fibrosis, and coronary calcifications compared to non-athletes. It must be underlined that the cause–effect relationship between such abnormalities and the exercise and, most importantly, the prognostic relevance of such findings remains to be established.
