Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to examine the cardiovascular effects of ultramarathon running and their relation to performance.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The purpose of the study is to determine the changes of cardiovascular morphology and function after an ultramarathon race. 50 entrants to the "Spartathlon 2017" 246-km running race will participate in the study. Cardiac and arterial morphology and function tests will be conducted one day before the race and within 20 minutes of race completion.
