In 200 athletes between 20-35 years of age fundoscopic examinations were performed during weight-lifting. In sitting position the athletes had to lift a dumb-bell of 15 kg with the left hand slowly upwards from the shoulder (within 15-18 seconds), while the fundus was examined with the ophthalmoscope. The vascular changes produced by the exertion showed a different pattern in the individual parts of the eyeground (optic disc, retinal vessels). A continuation of the studies in athletes who are grouped according to identical conditions should lead to applicable results.
