Calculated cardiovascular parameters included: left ventricular mass (LVM), stroke volume (SV), cardiac output (Q), ejection fraction (EF), and fractional shortening (FS).","Data collected showed that the young weight lifters (YWL) had significantly greater LVM than the young controls (YC) due to greater wall thicknesses with slight increases in LVIDd. There was no significant difference in LVM between the two older groups. LVM was highly correlated to lean body mass (LBM) in all subjects. The LADs was significantly affected by age with the older subjects having greater diameters than the younger subjects. The SV of the YWL was greater than that of the YC, whereas the two older groups had similar SV's. There was no difference in EF and FS when all groups were compared.","These data suggest that resistance training is associated with greater LVM, but that age and weight lifting did not impose an additive effect on cardiac structure.
