Examination of cardiac morphology and functions of athletes from different branshes and sedentary participants

Aim: This research aims to determine the morphological and functional differences between athletes from different branshes and sedentary individuals. Materyal and Method: A total of 90 participants, including 32 swimming, 28 sprinter and track and field athletes, who were actively training, and 30 sedentary, who did not do sports regularly, were included in the study. Anthropometric measurements of the participants were performed and YoYo-1 IR1 performance test was performed for VO2max values, ECO, EKG and Holter tests were applied for cardiological measurements. Shapiro-Wilk, one-way ANOVA and Bonferroni multiple comparison tests were used for statistical analysis of the study. Results: In the study, the anthropometric values of the participants in the sedentary, swimming and sprinter athletic groups were found to be VYO (p=.032), DKB (p=.004); In endurance performance values, Yo-Yo IR1 HR (p=.012), Distance (p=.000), VO2 max (p=.000); IVSd (p=.003), LVPWd (p=.001), IVSs (p=.002), LVPWs (p=.000), LVdmass (p=.000), LVsmass (p=.000), LVdmass ASE (p=.000), LVsmass ASE (p=.000); In VYA, the EKO measurements were LVSd m2 (p=.012), LVPWd m2 (p=.004), IVSs m2 (p=.016), LVPWs m2 (p=.014); EKG and HM values of SDNN Total (p=.030), SDNN Day (p=.014), RMS-SD Total (p=.008), RMS-SD Day (p=.002), SDSD Total (p=.027), SDSD Day (p=0003), HRV Index (p=.006), TINN (p=.000p RR Mean=.000p RR). 014), Mean RR Delta (p=.027), Mean HR Total (p=.000), Mean HR Day (p=.000), Mean HR Delta (p=.012), pNN50 Total (p=.001), pNN50 Day (p=.000), SDNN Index Total (p=.001), SDNN Index Index Day (p=.000), Heart Rate (p=.000), Heart Rate (statistically significant difference was detected). Conclusion: According to the findings obtained from the research, it was observed that swimmers who regularly train have different cardiac morphology and functions compared to athletes who train regularly and sedentary participants.
