Thanks for posting that, Michael. There's indeed a growing body of evidence that strongly suggests or links high endurance activities to a number of cardiac/cardiovascular pathologies with atrial fibrillation being the most prevalent pathology. Interesting there are some studies which suggest the very low-resting heart-rate of highly endurance-trained folks with the development of Afib.
I've been unable to find any studies linking interval-type activities or training to similar pathologies. Long ago I gave up on routinely doing long-endurance training or activities. I prefer the interval form of training, mostly incorporating resistance training and plyometrtics. On the bike, if my intent is more "training" than going for a "nice ride," I'll take the fixed-gear for a whirl over some good hilly terrain. Interestingly, this type of training or activity (interval) always leaves me feeling fresher than a more traditional cardio (steady-state) activity.
