Cardiac hypertrophy is where the ventricle wall gets larger or thickens as a result of exercise. The muscle wall of the left ventricle increases in size, meaning it is able to pump out more blood during each contraction which increases the stroke volume.
What happens to stroke volume when exercising?
Typically, stroke volume increases sharply at exercise onset up to around 40% consequent to increased blood volume, venous return, and filling pressures according to the Frank–Starling mechanism.

Why does stroke volume decrease during prolonged exercise?
An alternative hypothesis is that the decline in SV during prolonged exercise is induced by an increase in heart rate (HR) (18). By decreasing ventricular filling time (39), increases in HR can decrease end-diastolic volume and SV (1, 30, 38).
