The term the "Athlete's Heart" was first used over 80 years ago, when by the use of percussion examination an increase in the heart size of cross country skiers was observed (9). Following these investigations the increase in the heart of endurance trained athletes could also be confirmed using radiographic methods (5, 25). An increase in the heart size is also a result of various pathologic processes, for instance a myocarditis, a pressureor volume-overloading of the heart, a myocardial infarction etc., thus for many decades the enlarged heart of trained athletes was often regarded as being pathologic.Many investigations in particular the book by Reindell et a!. 1960 (28) — using pathologico-anatomical, radiographic, electrocardiographic, haemodynaniic and spiroergometric investigations — showed that the heart, enlarged as a result of endurance training was not damaged but was an indication of a particularly efficient heart.
