Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Although many studies were conducted on this subject, it is still impossible to predict if an athlete from a certain sport will develop cardiac changes and their what will those changes characteristics will be.
Sudden cardiac death is the leading cause of death among young athletes, this is because of high physical activity in the presence of a hidden heart disease, therefore there is much debate about the needed screening tests for athletes.
In Israel, there is only one study in this subject that showed no significant cardiac changes in Olympic athletes of various types of sports. the study didn't focused on high endurance sport athletes such as professional bicyclists although cardiac endurance is a main factor in cardiac changes.
