In last week's edition of the American Heart Association's (AHA) medical journal, Circulation, Aaron Baggish and Malissa Wood contributed a review article entitled, "Athlete's Heart and Cardiovascular Care of the Athlete: Scientific and Clinical Update." This is the most concise, current review of this topic I have seen and I would recommend this article to those of you with a medical or physiology background.
Over time, I'll try to put up some posts here at the blog that cover, in layman's terms, some of the important topics covered in this article.
