Background The aim of this study was to test the effect of endurance training on the age-
related changes of left ventricular (LV) twist-untwist mechanics. Aging has been shown to
induce a decline of diastolic function and more recently an impairment of twist-untwist
mechanics, which constitutes an important factor for early diastolic suction and filling. On the
other hand, endurance training has been shown to improve cardiac function. Methods
Speckle-tracking echocardiography was performed in 106 endurance-trained male athletes …
