Echocardiography is a noninvasive, reliable method for evaluation of left ventricular morphology and function. Judo and wrestling are sports characterized by intensive and high physical and isometric effort, while football is characterized by long-term physical isotonic effort. The key compensatory mechanism with both groups of sportsmen is left ventricular hypertrophy. The aim of this study is evaluate left ventricular morphology and function in a group of judo players, wrestlers and football players during competition season and their interactive comparation.
