Endurance exercise 'interferes with heart rhythm'


Athletes beware - endurance training may make it more likely that you will need a pacemaker, scientists believe.

A British Heart Foundation team found exercise in mice triggers molecular changes in the part of the heart that generates its natural beating rhythm.

This may explain why elite athletes have low resting heart rates and a higher risk heart rhythm disturbances, they told Nature Communications.
However, the benefits of exercising still outweigh any risks, experts say.





Read it to believe.

This goes against all popular studies.

Sorry, don't buy their research analysis.

It's all in the way you look at things, and how you interpret results.

What surprised me was Chris Hoy's resting rate of 30bpm. When I was running marathons regularly, I had a resting rate of 48bpm and thought that was good. Hoy blows that away!

Can buy that.

But he added: "Although endurance exercise training can have harmful effects on the heart, it is more than outweighed by the beneficial effects."
