Abstract
Endurance training does not prevent but minimizes changes in LV twist-untwist mechanics from young subjects to seniors. Athletes showed smaller increases of twist angle with age and smaller declines of LV untwisting rate during isovolumic relaxation time and untwist/twist ratio compared with controls. This training-improved preservation of LV twist-untwist mechanics is likely to play a key role for systolic-diastolic coupling and diastolic filling, particularly during exercise.
