Structural and functional cardiac adaptations to 6 months of football training in untrained hypertensive men

We investigated the effects of 3 and 6 months of regular football training on cardiac structure and function in hypertensive men. Thirty‐one untrained males with mild‐to‐moderate hypertension were randomized 2:1 to a football training group (n = 20) and a control group receiving traditional recommen...

Zusammenfassung:We investigated the effects of 3 and 6 months of regular football training on cardiac structure and function in hypertensive men. Thirty‐one untrained males with mild‐to‐moderate hypertension were randomized 2:1 to a football training group (n = 20) and a control group receiving traditional recommendations on healthy lifestyle (n = 11). Cardiac measures were evaluated by echocardiography. The football group exhibited significant (P
