Exercise program study to help prevent clogged heart arteries
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies whether lifetime endurance exercise is linked to a lower risk of coronary artery disease (clogged heart arteries). It may help explain which people benefit most from regular endurance activity and who may need different prevention steps.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 45 and 70 years old
- You are either a lifelong endurance athlete (started before age 30) or a late-onset endurance athlete (started after age 30)
- Your endurance sport is triathlon, cycling, distance running (1500 meters+), or rowing
- Your training is high-level (over 10 hours/week for cycling or triathlon, or over 6 hours/week for running or rowing)
- Or you are a healthy non-athlete who mostly does low-intensity regular exercise (under 3 hours/week typical, with some low-motion sports allowed)

This study follows up with people who participated in a heart-health study between 2012 and 2014. Researchers will use heart imaging and exercise tests to check your cardiovascular health and learn more about heart disease risk in athletes.
This study follows working adults over time to learn how lifestyle and physical fitness affect long-term health. If you join, you'll help researchers understand how to prevent heart disease and other conditions.
This study looks at whether an “exercise heart test” can better diagnose blockage in the heart’s coronary arteries. Participants may also have a heart scan or imaging test for comparison, within a short time window.
This study tests whether a program of aerobic exercise can help people who are obese and already have heart disease caused by clogged arteries. It looks at how exercise affects your heart health and weight.
This trial tests different ways to manage and reduce the risk of future heart problems in people who have already had a heart attack or a procedure to open blocked heart arteries. The goal is to find the best long-term treatment plan to keep you healthy.
This research study looks at why people with chest pain but clear heart arteries have low fitness. It tests whether a home-based interval training program (short bursts of hard exercise) can improve fitness and quality of life.
