Article from last year on Lance's physiology
http://www.utexas.edu/features/2006/athletes/index.html
Not trying to voice an opinion here, just posting the link for anyone who's interested in reading it. To summarize: it concludes that Lance's success was a combination of some unusual physical attributes, a scientific approach to improving his weaknesses, and a lot of determination. The researcher is apparently very well respected so I think it's worth reading - your mileage may vary. -S- |

Just one thing obviously incorrect in the article- it talks about him having a heart the size of someone who's 6'4" while he's 5'5". Lance is actually 5'10" (and rides a 58cm frame... which would be quite difficult for someone 5'5"). --Mike-- Chain Reaction Bicycles www.ChainReactionBicycles.com |

Lance is actually You are referring to this part: "When we took images--an echocardiogram--of his heart, we saw that it was much bigger than average. Although he's only 5'5", he has the heart of someone who's around 6'4". Then you have to read the paragraph right before it too: "... Last summer, for example, I did some testing on a very, very talented UT student athlete named Leo Manzano. He's one of the best `milers' in the U.S. and was a top performer in the NCAA finals. That is, those numbers apply to Leo, not to Lance. -- "Wer lesen kann ist klar im Vorteil" |

Need a refresher in reading comprehension? The article was talking
about Leo Manzano, who's 5'5". Evidently!

Athletic heart should rightly refer to someone who's cardiac enlargement is due not only to dilatation but also hypertrophy of the cardiac muscle. The total cardiac output increases, as does the pulse volume. This is why a trained athlete at rest has a lower heart rate--the heart doesn't work as hard at rest as would a sedentary heart. This is very different from cardiac enlargement seen in cardiomyopathies. In this case the heart enlarges but the cardiac walls often thin, the heart doesn't empty completely when beating, and cardiac output decreases. Steve Seems it goes with lots of baddies.
