Athletes more likely to have irregular heartbeats than non-athletes – study

Athletes more likely to have irregular heartbeats than non-athletes – study Joggers run around Clifton Downs, Bristol (Ben Birchall/PA) Athletes are two and half times more likely than non-athletes to experience irregular heartbeats, studies suggest. Researchers analysed 13 studies between 1990 and December 2020 which examined the health of athletes who took part in sports including cycling, running, swimming, Nordic skiing, orienteering, rowing, football, rugby and netball. The studies included data on 70,478 participants. Previous studies have shown that physical activity can improve cardiovascular health and is associated with reduced illness and deaths. However the new research suggests there is a threshold beyond which exposure to increasing levels of exercise is linked to heart issues including atrial fibrillation – a condition that sees irregular heartbeats raise the risk of stroke, heart failure and other heart-related problems.

Risk of fatal heart problem doubles if your exercise regime is too intense, study finds

Intense exercise can double your risk of developing a potentially fatal heart problem, a study has found. British researchers looked at the heart health of more than 70,000 people, about one in ten of whom regularly took part in sporting competitions. They found that athletes are 2.5 times more likely to experience irregular heart rhythms, or atrial fibrillation – a relatively common condition that can lead to strokes and heart failure. The threat was even greater among younger athletes, aged 55 and below, whose risk of atrial fibrillation was 3.6 times greater than that of non-athletes. Intense exercise can double your risk of developing a potentially fatal heart problem, a study has found
