Comparison of Cardiac Dimensions in Resistance Trained Young and Older Men

The purpose of this study was to determine the combined effect of age and resistance training on the cardiac structure of healthy young and older men. Thirty young men, ages 20 to 34, and 14 older men, ages 39 to 58, were included in the study. Twenty-two of the subjects were chronically resistance trained, while the remaining 22 were control subjects who did not participate in any type of regular physical activity. Resting cardiovascular measurements including heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressures, and a 12-lead resting electrocardiogram were completed on all subjects.
