Question

Well trained athletes have sometimes a higher cardiac output than non-athletes. What is the reason for that?

a. An increased end diastolic volume increases the stroke volume
b. An increased end systolic volume increases the stroke volume
c. An increased isovolumetric relaxation duration increases the stroke volume
d. An increased duration of the aortic valve opening (ejection phase) increases the stroke volume

Answer 1

The training regimens of these athletes are, however, not uniform. Power training can indeed be static but is sometimes described as dynamic involving ... distance runners have a larger left ventricular mass than non-athletic control subjects, ... form of strength training, heart rate, cardiac output, and blood pressure increase.
