Scientific sports training is perquisite for excel in track and field athletes, which effects the changes of functional capacity of heart as well as circulatory system. The study investigates the intricate process of functional adaptation of the left ventricle in track and field athletes. Echocardiography is a vital tool for a non-invasive assessment of cardiac anatomy and function that can differentiate between normal and abnormal cardiac changes. In general, the athletes who participates in endurance events have bigger hearts, which aids in the assessment of left ventricular functional adaptation. Heart rate adaptation in athletes is influenced by age, gender, ethnicity, and level of sport. Exercise that is high in intensity alters the heart's structure, electrical activity, and overall functionality. The volume and intensity of endurance exercise influences the functional adaptations of the left ventricle. The present study systematically discussed the effects of different track and field events (isometric or isotonic training) on cardiac left ventricle of athletes and it focus the necessity of customized training and coordinated healthcare for the best possible cardiovascular health.
