physiologic hypertrophy

An example of physiologic hypertrophy is in skeletal muscle with sustained weight bearing exercise.

This type of physiologic hypertrophy is reversible and non-pathological, increasing the heart's ability to circulate blood.

Both static and dynamic exercises involve the thickening of the left ventricular wall due to increased cardiac output, which leads to physiologic hypertrophy of the heart.

Healthy cardiac hypertrophy (physiologic hypertrophy or "athlete's heart") is the normal response to healthy exercise or pregnancy, which results in an increase in the heart's muscle mass and pumping ability.
