Every year, the marathon in Berlin attracts more than a million spectators to the course, and the runners are already starting to prepare for the next big race. This raises the question of what marathon runners should pay attention to in terms of their heart health.
\n<\/p>\n

The bon mot „Sport is murder“ is attributed to the former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. He paid for his „hostile“ attitude to sporting activity with high blood pressure, a heart attack and two strokes. Nevertheless, Churchill lived to be 91 years old. Churchill’s statement does not stand up to scientific studies. On the contrary: sporting activities such as running are healthy. Regular sport considerably reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Sport also has positive effects on high blood pressure, lipometabolic disorders, obesity and diabetes and the resulting secondary diseases such as heart attacks and strokes.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, sudden cardiac death occurs from time to time during extreme exertion such as a marathon, but also during other sporting events, even among younger athletes. However, the cause is not sport as such but, for example, a genetically determined thickening of the cardiac septum. Such hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a heart defect that can be detected with an ultrasound examination.<\/p>\n

Sports fitness examinations recommended<\/strong><\/p>\n

„A marathon is very demanding on the musculoskeletal system as well as the cardiovascular system. That’s why\u00a0sports fitness tests<\/a>\u00a0are particularly recommended in such cases,“ explains Dr. Rainer Ruf, cardiologist at the Ambulantes Centrum Berlin in Berlin-Friedrichshain. „A\u00a0stress ECG<\/a>\u00a0and a\u00a0ultrasound examination of the heart<\/a>\u00a0reveal possible acquired or congenital heart diseases.“ These can pose a risk to the athlete’s heart health.<\/p>\n

But sports medicine examinations do even more. They provide a good assessment of the current state of health and can also be used to derive statements about the most favourable individual load intensities. This should be the starting point of the individual training plan. The recommendations regarding the heart rate to aim for during training can vary greatly from athlete to athlete.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
