SVproject: Cardiac Stroke Volume at Rest and During Different Exercise Intensities
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The main aim of the present investigation is to study cardiac function in different exercise intensities in healthy human subjects. Two techniques will be used: cardiac ultrasound-derived stroke volume measurements and body impedance measurements. 20 healthy men (n=10) and women (n=10) aged 18-45 years will be investigated at rest and during exercise. All study procedures are non-invasive.
