Abstract

•Normal cardiac geometry, not concentric hypertrophy, prevails in master sprinters.•Many master athletes exceed population norms for cardiac structure.•Enlarged hearts seem to be due to physiological EICR.•Cardiac function is normal and similar in master sprinters and endurance athletes.•The effect of age is weak to moderate and not different between training models.
