Effect of Resistance and Circuit Exercise Training on Left Ventricular Diastolic Function in Obese Adolescents

Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction is an early indicator of cardiac dysfunction which predicts mortality in patients with cardiovascular disease and the general population. LV diastolic dysfunction, independent of LV hypertrophy or hypertension, has been documented in obese adults. However, no studies have determined the effect of obesity on diastolic function in obese children and the impact of different exercise training modalities on...
