Abstract

If a comment on the significance of spirogergometry (SEM) is made, it should be that sports cardiology considers SEM as its very own method. From the beginning of sports cardiology, the athlete’s larger heart was of interest to physicians, who used to consider a large heart as indicative of disease. However, in contrast to the large diseased heart, the athlete’s large heart demonstrates an enhanced, and not a decreased performance capacity. A crucial point in its assessment, therefore, is the comparison of the heart’s size and power.
