This article describes a simple and effective approach to the design of a highly detailed model of heart. The approach of designing a three-dimensional model is based on the use of ventricular contours data obtained by MRI study. This approach allows building a model of an athlete's heart with all internal structures, which allows to simplify the process of visualization and assessment of cardiac structures before and after the load and preventing a possible pathology.
The approach described above is successfully applied in creation and visualization of a 3D model of heart. Besides, the developed approach with all developed related technologies can be easily adapted to visualize other organs of athletes. Thus, by using this solution, it is possible to display the state of the patient's organs and hereby to simplify the process of interaction between the doctor and the patient

Keywords: MRI data processing, contouring, master-model design, augmented reality, 3d printing, visualization, cardiovascular diseases.
