Abstract: Studies have previously observed left ventricular twisting (LVT) in relation to both
diastolic and systolic function. Yet these studies primarily monitor LVT during different
exercise and intensities and rest and have not investigated the influence of EDV. This study
aims to investigate LVT and EDV in a three minute recovery phase and a six minute
recovery phase stage of recovery after sub-maximal exercise in trained and untrained
populations. The results of this study show that there were no significant differences in EDV
between the high aerobic fitness group and the moderate aerobic fitness group, yet within
the moderate exercise group there were significant differences between exercise and the 3
minute recovery stage and the 6 minute recovery stage. The findings of this study conclude
that a high aerobic fitness can lead lower LV twist and increase EDV. The findings of this
study can be improved and further considerations could be noted in terms of further research
in the future
