Price, D.T., Davidoff, R., & Balady, G.J. (2000). Comparison of cardiovascular adaptations to long-term arm and leg exercise in wheelchair athletes versus long-distance runners. The American Journal of Cardiology, 85(8), 996-1001.
Purpose
This study was conducted to determine whether long-term arm exercise had any effects on cardiac morphology and function. The study also considered long-term leg exercise as a possible cause of training effect and tested to see if this had any effect on arm exercise performance.
