Correlation between aerobic capacity expressed as calculated VO2 max and left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) and left ventricular function expressed as left ventricular strain (LVGLS = left ventricular global longitudinal strain, LVGCS = left ventricular global circumferential strain). Red symbols = football players, blue = controls. Volumes shown in upper panels, strain in lower. Echo variables to the left and CMR to the right
