Abstract
HUMAN beings who exercise intensely for long periods develop a symptomatology usually referred to as the athletic heart. It has been shown that the athletic heart is also present in animals. For example, enlarged heart and bradycardia were found in the hare when compared with the domesticated rabbit1. Recently, Tipton was able to produce an experimental bradycardia and cardiac hypertrophy in chronically exercised albino rats2.
