Abstract
- BACKGROUND: Sedentary aging has deleterious effects on the cardiovascular system, including decreased left ventricular compliance and distensibility (LVCD). Conversely, Masters level athletes, who train intensively throughout adulthood, retain youthful LVCD.OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that preservation of LVCD may be possible with moderate lifelong exercise training.METHODS: Healthy seniors (n = 102) were recruited from predefined populations, screened for lifelong patterns of exercise training, and stratified into 4 groups: "sedentary" (
