Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Increased resting cardiac output is not a characteristic commonly observed in well-trained endurance athletes. While endurance training leads to physiological adaptations such as increased stroke volume and decreased heart rate (resting bradycardia), these adaptations allow the heart to pump more efficiently. The increased efficiency typically results in a similar or slightly lower resting cardiac output compared to non-athletes, as the heart can deliver the necessary oxygen to the body with fewer beats per minute.
