Heart changes during ultra-trail running
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how running an ultra-trail race (80 km or 160 km) affects your heart during and after the event. It may help understand how the heart responds to extreme endurance exercise and could guide future recommendations for runners.

This trial uses low-intensity ultrasound to see if it can safely measure or affect heart function in healthy people. It aims to understand how the heart works during a simple, non-invasive procedure.
This study looks at how ultra-endurance running affects heart and inflammation markers in women, and whether their menstrual cycle or hormone levels play a role. If you join, researchers will monitor your heart and blood markers around the race.
This study uses 3D ultrasound to see how the heart moves blood in people who exercise a lot versus those who do not. It could help understand how regular endurance training changes heart function.
This study looks at how the heart can adapt in teens and young adults who do endurance sports. It may help doctors tell the difference between normal training-related heart changes and heart disease.
This study uses multiple imaging methods to understand how the heart works in healthy adults. If you are generally healthy, you may help researchers learn more about normal heart function.
This study uses ultrasound (a harmless imaging test) to look at the inner lining of your leg arteries to see how much calcium has built up over years of intense endurance exercise. It aims to find out how common this calcium buildup is in athletes like you and whether it is linked to long-term training.
