Abstract:
The origin of sports medicine in the 19th and 20th century is listed. The same applies to the development of devices in the course of performance diagnostics. The required parameters for evaluation of the cardiopulmonary performance ability are mentioned in their historical context.The athlete's heart is described from its beginnings until today in its differently characterized clinical concepts. The secured facts are provided in detail in combination with modern investigation techniques.A particular sports medical merit in the area of cardiology is the investigation of the significance of the body periphery regarding the heart activity. The performance-limiting factors for the local aerobic dynamic endurance are specified in addition to the training methods for performance enhancement and the consequences for heart activity. The paper closes with a short description of the significance of sports medicine for today's rehabilitative cardiology.

Exercise and Cardiovascular Response
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...
