Endurance Exercise and the Heart: Friend or Foe?. Sports Medicine, 46(4), 459-466.0112164211792035http://hdl.handle.net/11268/4904Although low- to moderate-intensity exercise has well-known cardiovascular benefits, it has been increasingly suggested that prolonged strenuous endurance exercise (SEE) could have potential deleterious cardiac effects. In effect, the term ‘cardiac overuse injury’ (or ‘over-exercise’) has been recently reported to group all the possible deleterious cardiac consequences of repeated exposure to SEE or ‘over-exercise’. In this article, we provide a balanced overview of the current state of knowledge regarding the ‘pros’ and ‘cons’ of SEE from a cardiological point of view.engEndurance exercise and the heart: Friend or foe?journal article10.1007/s40279-015-0434-4restricted accessCorazónEjercicio físicoSistema cardiovascularDeporte
