Abstract:
How to reduce the sudden nontraumatic death related to sport risk? Sport's related sudden cardiac death (SCD) is still dramatically perceived and often widely publicized. In case of SCD sport's practice reveals a heart disease that is mainly overlooked. In a society under the influence of the precautionary principle, preventing SCD seems essential. However, implementing effective SCD prevention is not easy. Among the three most often preventive actions proposed, the pre-participation screening evaluation, the athlete's education, and the population education for resuscitation maneuvers, the pre-participation evaluation currently seems to have the most difficulty in proving its effectiveness.

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...

Exercise Stress Test
Exercise stress testing, commonly known as a treadmill test, is a noninvasive procedure used to evaluate cardiovascular function and diagnose heart conditions.
Definition
An exercise stress test measures the heart's response to exertion using a treadmill or stationary bicycle. Chest electrodes record the heart's electrical activity through an ECG, and blood pressure is monitored regularly.
