  • Descrição: Background: The cardiac characteristics of Asian female endurance athletes and strength athletes have rarely been investigated. Methods: This study included 177 Taiwanese young women undergoing military training. Cardiac features were assessed by electrocardiography (ECG) and echocardiography. Then, all participants completed a 3000-meter run to assess endurance capacity, and 89 participants completed a 2-minute push-up test to assess muscular strength. Athletes were those whose exercise performance fell one standard deviation above the mean, and the remaining participants were defined as controls. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to determine the predictors of the cardiac characteristics of female athletes. Results: Compared to the female controls, female endurance athletes had a greater QRS duration (ms) (92.12 ± 10.35 vs. 87.26 ± 9.89, p = 0.01) and a higher prevalence of right axis deviation (RAD) (34.9% vs. 11.1%, p ＜ 0.001). There were no differences in any echocardiographic parameters. Greater QRS duration and RAD and lower systolic blood pressure were independent predictors of female endurance athletes [odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals: 1.05 (1.01-1.09), 2.91 (1.12-7.59) and 0.93 (0.88-0.98), respectively]. Female strength athletes had a greater right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) (mm) (28.06 ± 3.57 vs. 25.38 ± 3.61, p = 0.007) but revealed no differences in ECG variables. Greater RVOT was the only predictor of female strength athletes [OR: 1.26 (1.05-1.50)]. Conclusions: In Asian military women, a wider QRS duration and the presence of RAD in ECG rather than heart structure and function were found to characterize endurance athletes, whereas a wider RVOT but no ECG features were found to characterize strength athletes.
