This work summarizes current knowledge and recommendations regarding sports activities of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Competitive sports, sports with high intensity level and burst exertion are not recommended. Also performing sports in extremely adverse environmental conditions as hot or cold weather, or high humidity is strongly discouraged; dehydration represents a risk factor as well. Recreational sports are permitted, particularly when individual risk factors and level of outflow tract obstruction are assessed in an individual patient.
