The prevalence and complexity of ventricular arrhythmias at 24H-ECG did not differ between athletes and sedentary controls and were not related to type and amount of sport or sex. Age was the only variable associated to an increased PVBs burden. Thus, no PVBs pattern in the athlete can be considered "common" or "training related" (Graphical abstract).
