In general terms, cardiovascular health improves with exercise. Yet some forms of exercise likely hold more significant benefits than others—something that we’re working diligently to understand. Host Dr. Lee Freedman welcomes Dr. Aaron Baggish, a cardiology fellow at Massachusetts General Hospital and the lead author of research published in the Journal of Applied Physiology on the nuanced anatomical and physiological modifications that accompany specific exercises. More specifically, how does the heart change with varying regimens of strength exercise versus endurance training?
