The American Heart Association and
American College of Cardiology have released a series of scientific statements
regarding eligibility and disqualification recommendation for competitive
athletes with cardiovascular abnormalities. This is the 2nd document
of 15 scientific statements. This one discusses classifications of sports “based
on the well-described hemodynamics of each different types exercise (static
versus dynamic), as well as the apparent cardiac adaptation of athletes who
compete in these sports, which reflect the chronic load on the cardiovascular
system.”
