There seems to be two issues. One, the paper doesn't define "remodeling with intense exercise"., In other words, what is intense and for how long. It assume that athletes that trained at a very high level for years are more susceptible to afib than normal people. I am one of those and maybe that explains why am here sharing information. But what about the recreational exerciser that trains at a moderate to high level and competes in races like biking and running? Are they more susceptible to afib? I guess there aren't any studies that have suggested or defined a point where afib becomes more prevalent when training for recreational type endurance sports.
Two, when I was experiencing afib ( for11 years before my first ablation), I never found intense exercise to be a trigger.

I guess this should be obvious, and if so I missed it. Is the study correlating a short period of high MET activity (a few weeks or daily) to initiating an particular afib episode? Or is the correlation between those individuals with years of high MET activity (athletes) being more susceptible to afib during their lifetime?

What I don't understand is, if there is some damage to the heart from chronic fitness, albeit electrical, why does the afib start at night even though the 'damage' is there during the day as well.
I can over exercise during the day and feel great, but I'll probably wake up in afib sometime during the night or even the next evening.

Also while I am throwing questions out there; can the heart heal itself after detraining? I am doing much better by detraining, i.e., heart rate < 60% of max, but will it ever go away?

Also, my resting heart rate at the start of my afib 2.5 years ago was around 52. I stopped my vigorous exercise and over the course of 6 months it increased to 57, where it is now. I'm wondering if this small increase of 5 beats per minute is what has lowered my afib burden.

How do you know the Oura Tracking ring is accurate for tracking deep sleep? Is there a brand you can recommend?

Also after you exercise, how long does it take your HR to go back to normal? Mine has been staying elevated until 3-4 hours post exercise. I don't think it was like that in years past.

Which Oura tracking ring do you use? I guess for just keeping track of HR and SpO2 levels a cheaper one would suffice. I am seeing them as low as $25 on Amazon.

I need to recheck this before leaving home, and then getting out of my Car in the parking lot. It was 115 as I was walking onto the gym floor. I have noticed also higher reading just as I start a Hike, then it drops down 10-15 BPM.
