Abstract

Competitive sports differ with regards to their physiological demands and risk of collision/impact. With the goal of informing disease-specific recommendations for athletes with cardiovascular disease, we present the sport-specific physiology inherent to the typical practice of common competitive sports. We also classify sports by collision/impact risk, which is particularly relevant to athlete antiplatelet and anticoagulant use. Finally, we discuss how sport-specific cardiovascular adaptations to exercise training manifest on athletes' cardiovascular testing.
