Effect of endurance training on the T wave of the electrocardiogram of adult men

Abstract

The T wave amplitude changes were evaluated on 19 men between the ages of 24 and 62 years following a 3-day/week, 10-week progressive jogging and rhythmic exercise program. Significant increases in the amplitude of the T wave were found sitting at rest, during the last 10 secs of the second min of a bicycle ergometer ride (25 kg-m/sec at 60 rpm), and during the last 10 secs of the first and third mins of recovery. Insignificant increases in favor of the training group were present in the second, fourth, eighth, and tenth mins of recovery.
