Abstract

Background: Physiological adaptations, especially in sports exercise, usually occur through stress on the body. The changes that occur in the functions of the body's systems are what cause development in the responses of its organs and muscles, which leads to improved athletic performance. Adaptations in response to training include: decreased the heart rate, increased the stroke volume, increased the oxygen uptake, increased the blood hemoglobin levels, and the muscle hypertrophy. Objective of the study: To evaluate the rates of the left ventricular enlargement after years of aerobic training. The research sample: includes (24) athletes and all them practice aerobic activities at the present time, as follows: Six they have (1-2) years of training. Six they have (2-4) years of training. Six they have (4-6) years of training. Six they have (6-8) years of training. The left ventricular mass was examined and diagnosed using the Echocardiogram. Data analyses: The data was analyzed using the SPSS program V. 26. Conclusions: 1-Left ventricular hypertrophy increases with the increase in the years of the aerobic training. 2-During the four years of training, left ventricular enlargement remains within the normal range. 3-after four years, Left ventricular hypertrophy begins to rise above the normal range. 3- The left ventricular hypertrophy in an aerobic athlete is not considered a pathological condition. Highlights: Adaptation: Aerobic training increases left ventricular hypertrophy over time. Timeline: Enlargement stays normal for 4 years, increases beyond normal after. Conclusion: Hypertrophy in athletes is non-pathological and a physiological adaptation. Keywords: Physiological Adaptation; Ventricular Enlargement, Athletic Heart Syndrome.

Abstract

Background: Visceral fat is a key health indicator due to its physiological link to vital body functions, particularly blood pressure regulation. Elevated visceral fat has been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases and metabolic disorders. Specific Background: High blood pressure, a chronic condition characterized by elevated arterial pressure, is influenced by various physiological factors, including body composition. The excessive accumulation of visceral fat can contribute to hypertension by impacting cardiovascular and metabolic functions. Knowledge Gap: Despite existing studies on obesity and hypertension, limited research has explored the direct correlation between visceral fat levels and blood pressure among university students in Iraq. Aims: This study aims to assess visceral fat levels and blood pressure among students at the Open Educational College – Basra Center and examine the relationship between these two variables. Results: Among 85 participants (42% male, 58% female, mean age 40.14 years), 55% had abnormal visceral fat levels, and 52% exhibited elevated blood pressure. Chi-square analysis revealed a significant relationship (X² = 8.125, p = 0.028) between visceral fat and hypertension, indicating that individuals with higher visceral fat percentages were more likely to have elevated blood pressure. Novelty: This study provides empirical evidence linking visceral fat accumulation to increased blood pressure in an understudied population, reinforcing the importance of visceral fat as a predictive factor for hypertension. Implications: The findings highlight the necessity for targeted health interventions, including lifestyle modifications and public health strategies, to mitigate the risks associated with excessive visceral fat accumulation and hypertension. Future research should further investigate underlying mechanisms and preventive measures tailored to at-risk populations. Highlights: Visceral fat impacts blood pressure, influencing cardiovascular health. Higher visceral fat correlates with increased blood pressure levels. Managing visceral fat may help regulate blood pressure and prevent complications. Keywords: Visceral fat, blood pressure, obesity, cardiovascular health, hypertension.
