Table 2. Performance, BP and training parameters depending on LVM, sorted according to p-value.

Triathletes in the group with LVM >220g have significant longer training times and distances on bike, longer overall training times ( Mann-Whitney-U-Test).

Tr = training. BP = Blood Pressure

BPs AnaerobicThreshold = systolic blood pressure at the anaerobic threshold

BPs Wattmax = systolic blood pressure at the maximum power output time

rel. VO 2RCP = relative oxygen uptake at the anaerobic threshold

rel. VO 2max ml/min/kg = relative maximal oxygen uptake

IVRT = Isovolumetric relaxation time

Watt max = maximum power output
