The Influence of Age and Exercise Training Status on Left Ventricular Systolic Twist Mechanics in Healthy Males-An Exploratory Study.

ABSTRACT: Age-related differences in twist may be mitigated with exercise training, although this remains inconclusive. Moreover, temporal left ventricular (LV) systolic twist mechanics, including early-systolic (twist_early), and beyond peak twist (twist_peak) alone, have not been considered. Therefore, further insights are required to ascertain the influence of age and training status on twist mechanics across systole. Forty males were included and allocated into 1 of 4 groups based on age and training status: young recreationally active (Y_RA, n = 9; 28 ± 5 years), old recreationally active (O_RA, n = 10; 68 ± 6 years), young trained (Y_T, n = 10; 27 ± 6 years), and old trained (O_T, n = 11, 64 ± 4 years) groups.
