This article analyzes the morphological changes in the heart caused by physical inactivity (hypokinesia), their pathophysiological mechanisms, and clinical significance based on international sources. Studies show that hypokinesia promotes myocardial dilatation, hypertrophy, and interstitial fibrosis processes. Consequently, the heart's pumping function declines, increasing the risk of heart failure, arrhythmias, and other cardiovascular diseases. These processes are visually represented through graphical data.Downloads
