Assessment of cardiovascular system performance and physical capacity in master athletes: The effect of continued sports activity on heart and vascular health

Background: Many authors have noted the lack of knowledge on the causal relationship between the degree of physical activity, the dynamics, and outcomes of diseases, as well as the influence of sports history on the rehabilitation potential of former athletes. Purpose: Assessment of the functional state of the cardiovascular system according to the indicators of electrocardiography, polycardiography, echocardiography and the level of physical performance masters in same athletes. Patients and Methods: The study included a main group consisting of ۱۰۰ athletes, who had undergone electrocardiography, poly-electrocardiography, ultrasound echocardiography, heart rate and blood pressure measurement to determine their level of physical performance. The subjects were then divided into ۲ groups. The first group included ۷۵ people who continue to be active in regular sports activities. The second group consisted of ۲۵ people who completely stopped training or had only occasional, unsystematic physical activities. A control group of ۳۱ people, consisting of people of the same age who had not been involved in sports earlier, was examined according to the program. Results: The data obtained by us show that sports activities do contribute to the increasing stability of the body and maximize the deployment of the capabilities of the circulatory system, including their long-term preservation in masters athletic. Athletes who have stopped training have signs of age-related changes in the heart and blood vessels, which seem to be more frequent and earlier than those who continue training. A higher degree of myocardial contractility (in ۹۰.۶۷% of cases) in main group. Conclusion: Masters athletes and those who stopped training after completing their sports career, can also be seen the ISC ark Whit Sance ConCarr دومین کنفرانس بین المللی علوم تربیتی روانشناسی (۱) علوم ورزشی و تربیت بدنی جمهوری اسلامی ایران وزارت علوم، تحقیقات و فناوری ۲nd International Conference on Educational Sciences Paychology, Sport Sciences and Physical Education www.confep.ir موسسه آموزش عالی ادیب مازندران I should have notably thorough medical supervision and undergo regular annual in-depth examination.
