Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Does long-term endurance training prevent the age-related decrease in left ventricular relaxation properties?
Answer: Our data provide evidence that long-term training does not reduce the age-related decline in LV relaxation properties in humans. This finding implies that other mechanisms, such as increased LV filling pressures due to expanded blood volume, are probably responsible for the higher contribution of early diastolic filling to LV filling in master athletes compared with their sedentary counterparts. However this hypothesis needs to be confirmed.
Output (English): no
