Description:
Article Endurance athletes are known to have a low resting heart rate. Here, D'Souza et al. propose that training-induced bradycardia is the result of electrophysiological changes in the sinus node, challenging the classical view that training-induced bradycardia is caused by increased activity of the autonomic nervous system.
