Main funding source(s): Fund for scientific research Flanders (FWO) and unrestricted research grant from Boston Scientific Belgium and Abbott Belgium. Background: No studies have effectively measured training load (TL) from wearable heart rate (HR) monitors and determined its relation to exercise induced left and right ventricular (LV, RV) remodeling. A better insight into drivers of exercise induced cardiac remodeling is of clinical relevance to guide training advice in athletes at risk of adverse remodeling.
