Exploring morpho-functional and cardiometabolic parameters in elite female athletes with extreme anthropometry
Athletes with extreme anthropometry exhibit, especially those with a high BMI, worse cardiovascular risk despite the same cardiorespiratory function. Athletes with high BMI exhibit increased LV thickness, while athletes with high height showed increased LV dimensions. Indexing for weight should not be used in extreme anthropometry.
