Whether prolonged exercise results in a transient depression in left ventricular (LV) function has been the focus of numerous studies since the 1960s. This review attempts to summarize the findings of this growing body of research. Understanding in this area has followed the advances in imaging techniques and specifically in echocardiographic technology. As such, the review focuses on evidence from the traditional echocardiographic technology (two-dimensional and Doppler measures), the more advanced technique of tissue Doppler imaging (TDI), and finally the assessment of myocardial strain and strain rate. Although many of the studies have adopted a similar cross-sectional pre- to postexercise design, there are often significant differences in terms of subject characteristics, exercise duration, and exercise modality. Accordingly, we draw together the common findings from this growing body of research in an attempt to reach a consensus regarding the influence of prolonged exercise on LV function.

AMPK inactivation in mononuclear cells: a potential intracellular mechanism for exercise-induced immunosuppression
Moir, Hannah; Butcher, Lee; Jones, Ken; Hughes, Michael G.; Neale, Huw; Jia, Huidong; Al-Ismaily, Zuleikha; Webb, Richard (NRC Research Press, 2008)There is much evidence that prolonged intense exercise suppresses the immune system. However, the intracellular biochemical mechanisms linking exercise and immunosuppression remain obscure. The purpose of this study was ... -
Exercise-associated generation of PPARγ ligands activates PPARγ signaling events and upregulates genes related to lipid metabolism
Thomas, A. W.; Davies, N. A.; Moir, H.; Watkeys, L.; Ruffino, J. S.; Isa, S. A.; Butcher, L. R.; Hughes, M. G.; Morris, K.; Webb, Richard (American Physiological Society, 2012)The aim of the present study was to test the hypotheses that exercise is associated with generation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ) ligands in the plasma and that this may activate PPARγ signaling ...
