Abstract
The article describes the issues concerning patients that practise sports and want to familiarize themselves with the mechanisms that influence cardiac muscle while doing physical activity (amateur or competitive) as well as physiotherapists that are familiar with the physiology of the physical effort and the adaptation of circulatory system to the activity including structural changes in heart, and who want to broaden their knowledge on that issue. Often, the latter share their professional knowledge with their patients, therefore it is crucial to remember such information. The topic depicted in the article is absolutely actual because it is acknowledged that a healthy lifestyle is the lifestyle of the 21st Century and a regular physical effort or lack of thereof is the most crucial factor that influences the state of a healthy individual and their length of life.

Key words:
effort, sport, heart, circulatory system
