Circumferential and Radial Strain and SR, and Rotations
Data obtained from the LV transversal axis analysis is presented in
table 4. No significant difference in the deltas of circumferential and
radial strain or SR values was found after the follow-up between groups.
Referring to rotational mechanics, at the end of the training period,
the TRAINING group had lower values of rotation of the basal segments
compared to the CONTROL group (TRAINING 4M, -5.9±2.3 vs CONTROL 4M,
-7.5±2.9o; P =0.03). There was a borderline
significant difference of the delta of this parameter between groups
(TRAINING, 0.8±3.1 vs CONTROL, -0.8±2.7o;P =0.05). Additionally, lower basal rotational velocity values
were also observed in the TRAINING group (TRAINING 4M, -53.6±18.4 vs
CONTROL 4M, -68.8±22.1 º/s; P =0.01), also with a trend of the
delta toward a statistically significant difference (TRAINING 4.2±21.5
vs CONTROL -8.1±24.0 o/s; P =0.06), as presented
in figure 3 and Supplementary Data V.
