有氧运动对慢性应激大鼠脑海马区神经可塑性的影响

摘要：目的：以神经元和神经胶质细胞相关神经生物学变化为切入点,探讨有氧运动对慢性应激大鼠脑海马区神经可塑性的影响。方法：以SD大鼠为研究对象,按照体重均衡分为对照组（CON）、慢性应激模型组（MOD）、氟西汀组（FLU）、低强度运动组（LIR）和中等强度运动组（MIR）。给予大鼠4周慢性应激,并分别伴随氟西汀给药、低强度或者中等强度的运动干预。4周后,通过开场实验、蔗糖饮水实验、新奇抑制摄食实验以及新物体识别实验检测运动对慢性应激大鼠抑郁样行为、焦虑样行为以及认知障碍的影响;同时,利用酶联免疫法和蛋白免疫印迹法,检测运动对慢性应激大鼠血清皮质酮、海马内前炎因子IL1-β,以及蛋白GFAP、S100β、BDNF、p-ERK、p-CREB表达的影响,探讨运动抗抑郁的行为学效应和作用机制。结果：1）低强度和中等强度运动能够显著增加慢性应激大鼠的开场活动、缩短新奇抑制摄食潜伏期,同时提高慢性应激大鼠新物体的识别指数;2）运动有效逆转了慢性应激大鼠血清皮质酮的异常升高,同时降低海马内前炎性因子IL1-β的分泌;3）运动可显著星形胶质细胞的标志性功能蛋白GFAP和S100β的表达水平,增强慢性应激大鼠的BDNF/ERK/CREB信号转导通路中重要蛋白BDNF、p-ERK、p-CREB的表达。结论：运动可以通过提高慢性应激大鼠脑海马区神经可塑性来达到抗抑郁的目的。可能与以下因素有关：1）运动调节血清皮质酮的异常升高,降低海马内前炎性因子的释放,同时,提高与神经胶质细胞相关蛋白GFAP和S100β活性,从而起到神经元保护的作用;2）运动可以通过激活CREB,BDNF以及ERK等重要信号蛋白的表达,提高神经营养作用,促进神经元的生长,增加神经可塑性和神经发生来发挥抗抑郁作用。     

不同古典医学文化中的“运动是良医”思想

摘要：慢性疾病成为新世纪重要的致死风险因素,而身体活动不足成为引发慢性疾病的重要原因。2007年,由ACSM（American College of Sports Medicine）、AMA（American Medical Association）发起“运动是良医”的全球行动至今已有39个国家加入。主要采用文献资料法,梳理古典医学文化时期中“运动是良医”思想的源起。研究发现,早在公元前的古希腊、古代罗马、古代印度以及古代中国古典医学文化时期的医学典籍中就出现了“运动是良医”的思想和实践,Herodicus、Hippocrates、Galen、Susruta、华佗等对这一思想的发展做出了重要的贡献。虽然东西方医学与锻炼的结合具有同源异流、动静相宜等差异,但对于锻炼对疾病的预防和治疗的价值认识是一致的。甚至于早在古典医学文化时期就开始了身体锻炼与肥胖、糖尿病等疾病治疗的实践,并从自然、人体、锻炼、饮食等因素对疾病和健康有了整体的认识。文艺复兴后,由于医学技术的高速发展,“体”“医”开始分道扬镳,今天,体医结合重新受到医学和体育领域的重视,通过文献分析使我们对“运动是良医”这一古老的思想有更加深刻的认识。     

甲烷水对一次性力竭运动所致大鼠心肌损伤的保护作用

摘要：目的：观察灌服甲烷水对一次性力竭运动所致大鼠心肌缺血性损伤、心脏组织内氧化应激和炎症因子的影响,探讨其对运动性心肌损伤产生保护作用的可能机制。方法：24只雄性SD大鼠随机分为安静对照组（C组）、运动对照组（EP组）、运动甲烷水组（EM组）。EP组和EM组分别于运动前30 min灌服蒸馏水和甲烷水,之后进行一次性力竭跑台运动。采用化学比色法、ELISA和Luminex xMAP?技术（液态悬浮芯片技术）检测大鼠血清和心肌中生化指标。结果：1）EM组较EP组运动时间显著延长（P<0.01）。2）与C组比较,EP组大鼠血清中IL-1β、IL-6含量极显著升高（P<0.01）,心肌eNOS水平显著降低,MDA含量显著升高（P<0.05）,3-NT含量极显著性升高（P<0.01）;与EP组比较,EM组血清中cTnI水平显著上升,IL-1β、IL-6含量显著下降（P<0.05）,大鼠心肌eNOS水平显著升高（P<0.05）,SOD活性、T-AOC含量极显著上升（P<0.01）,MDA含量、3-NT含量显著降低（P<0.05）。结论：灌服甲烷水提高大鼠运动能力,可能是通过增加心肌eNOS水平,催化NO生成,舒张血管;提高心肌抗氧化能力,改善大鼠心肌氧化应激损伤,从而对运动性心肌损伤具有一定的保护作用。     

A prospective examination of the impact of high levels of exercise training on sedentary behaviour

The aim of this study is to determine changes in sedentary behaviour in response to extensive aerobic exercise training. Participants included adults who self-selected to run a marathon. Sedentary behaviour, total activity counts and physical activity (PA) intensity were assessed (Actigraph GT3X) for seven consecutive days during seven assessment periods (?3, ?2, and ?1 month prior to the marathon, within 2 weeks of the marathon, and +1, +2, and +3 months after the marathon). Models were fitted with multiple imputation data using the STATA mi module. Random intercept generalized least squares (GLS) regression models were used to determine change in sedentary behaviour with seven waves of repeated measures. Results: Twenty-three individuals (mean?±?S_x: 34.4?±?2.1y, 23.0?±?1.9% fat, 15 women, 8 men) completed the study. Marathon finishing times ranged from 185 to 344 minutes (253.2?±?9.6 minutes). Total counts in the vertical axis were 1,729,414 lower one month after the race, compared with two months prior to the race (peak training). Furthermore, counts per minute decreased by 252.7 counts·minute^?1 during that same time period. Daily sedentary behaviour did not change over the seven assessment periods, after accounting for age, gender, per cent body fat, wear time, marathon finishing time, and previous marathon experience. This prospective study supports the notion that PA and sedentary behaviours are distinct, showing that sedentary behaviour was not impacted by high levels of aerobic training.     

Maximal heart rate declines linearly with age independent of cardiorespiratory fitness levels

There have been many conflicting observations between the linear or curvilinear decline in maximal heart rate (HR_max) with age. The aim of this study was to determine if linear or curvilinear equations would better describe the decline in HR_max with age in individuals of differing cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) levels. Treadmill cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPX) results from participants (1510 men and 1134 women; 18–76 years) free of overt cardiovascular disease were retrospectively examined using cross-sectional and longitudinal study designs. Participants completing ≥2 CPX with ≥1 year between test dates were included in the longitudinal analysis (325 men and 150 women). Linear and quadratic regressions were applied to age and HR_max for the whole cohort and respective CRF groups (high, moderate, and low, relative to age and gender normative values). To test for differences among linear, quadratic, and polynomial equations, the change in R² (cross-sectional analysis) and Bayesian information criterion (BIC) (longitudinal analysis) from the linear to the more complex models were calculated. The quadratic or polynomial regression in the cross-sectional analysis, marginally improved the variance in HR_max explained by age compared to the linear regression for the whole cohort (0.2%), moderate fit group (0.3%), and low fit group (0.8%). With no improvements in the high fit group. BIC did not improve for any CRF category in the longitudinal analysis. In conclusion, the minimal differences among linear, quadratic, and polynomial equations in the respective CRF groups, emphasizes the use of linear prediction equations to estimate HR_max.     

Exercise but not metformin improves health-related quality of life and mood states in older adults with type 2 diabetes

The aim of this cohort study is to analyse the effect of three types of treatment: (i) exercise training with multicomponent exercise (E); (ii) pharmacologic treatment with oral hypoglycaemic drug – metformin (M); and (iii) a combined therapy – exercise and metformin (E?+?M) on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and mood states in older adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) with comorbidity in an early stage of the disease. Participants (n?=?284) underwent 1 of the following 3 conditions: (i) E (n?=?59) trained three times/week; (ii) M (n?=?30) used 850?mg of metformin twice daily; and (iii) E?+?M (n?=?195) combined exercise and metformin. Furthermore, participants completed baseline and 2-year follow-up evaluations including a Shortform Health Survey 36, Profile of Mood States – Short-form, the health history questionnaires, anthropometric, and blood biochemistry. E and E?+?M revealed improved mood states, with large effect size on the vigour domain, and moderate effect size in the anger and total mood disturbance (TMD) domains (P?<?0.05), in comparison with the M group. After 24 months’ intervention, the E and E?+?M groups perceived better physical and mental HRQoL than the M group. The M group unchanged HRQoL domains (P?>?0.05). Metformin had no significant effect on the self-referred HRQoL in T2D participants aged above 60 years, in an early stage of the disease. The E and E?+?M were the most effective long-term therapies to improve mood states and HRQoL in older adults with T2D.     

Differences in the utilisation of active power in squat and countermovement jumps

The aim of this article was to understand how active power is used in squat and countermovement jumps. A simple empirical model comprising a mass, a spring, an active element and a damper, together with an optimisation principle, was used to identify the mechanical factors that maximise performance of jumps without countermovement (squat jumps, SJ) and with countermovement (CMJ). Twelve amateur volleyball players performed SJ from two initial positions and CMJ with two degrees of counterbalancing, while kinematic data were collected (jump height, push-off duration and position of the centre of mass). The model adjusted well to real data of SJ through all the impulse phase, and slightly less adequately at the end of this phase for CMJ. Nevertheless, it provides a satisfactory explanation for the generation and utilisation of active power for both type of jumps. On average, the estimated power of the active elements, the spring, and the damper were greater in the SJ. Based upon the result obtained with this model, we suggest that active power is best evaluated with SJ. The reason for this is that, during this kind of jump, the elements associated with the damper consume much of the energy produced by the active elements. The participation of the elements that consume the energy generated by the active elements is less in CMJ than in SJ, allowing for a better utilisation of this energy. In this way it is possible to achieve a better performance in CMJ with less active power.     

Acute fatigue negatively affects risk factors for injury in trained but not well-trained habitually shod runners when running barefoot

Introduction: Many factors may contribute to running-related injury. These include fatigue and footwear, the combination of which has rarely been studied, in particular with reference to barefoot running, recently advocated as a method to reduce injury risk. Methods: Twenty-two runners (12 well-trained and 10 trained) participated in a 10?km fatiguing trial. Knee and ankle joint kinematics and kinetics and electromyography were assessed during overground running in the barefoot and shod condition. This was performed pre- and post-fatigue using a motion capture system and force platforms. Results: Initial loading rate increased in the trained runners when barefoot but not shod. Shod knee stiffness increased in both groups after fatigue, whereas barefoot knee stiffness decreased only in the trained group. A reduction in barefoot bicep femoris pre-activation was found in both groups. During stance, a reduction in vastus lateralis and biceps femoris and an increase in tibialis anterior activity were found over time in both groups and conditions. Trained runners decreased gluteus medius and increased lateral gastrocnemius median frequency for both conditions after fatigue. Conclusion: When fatigued, gait adjustments in habitually shod runners may increase injury risk when running barefoot. Training status may be a risk factor for injury, as less-trained runners experience muscular fatigue changes that may compromise ground reaction force attenuation. Caution is recommended when transitioning to pure barefoot running.     

Could Slackline Training Complement the FIFA 11+ Programme Regarding Training of Neuromuscular Control?

The current study compared changes in neuromuscular control between slackline training and the stabilization training elements of the FIFA 11+ programme. Twenty-five students in 2 groups performed a 12-unit training programme. The slackline training group (n?=?13) exclusively trained with a slackline. The stabilization training group (n?=?12) practised exercises as described in the second part of the FIFA 11+ programme. Improvements in balance were assessed using three tests for dynamic, quasi-static, and perturbed postural control: the star excursion balance test (SEBT), the closed-eye single-leg stance, and the MFT S3-Check. Both groups significantly improved the stability and sensorimotor index of the MFT S3-Check (p?<?.001), their range on the SEBT (p?<?.001), and the duration of closed-eye single-leg stance (p?<?.001). The group?×?training interaction was significant for the MFT S3-Check (stability index: p?=?.042; sensorimotor index: p?=?.004) and the SEBT (dominant leg: p?=?.003; averaged both legs: p?=?.016), with the slackline training group showing a larger training effect than the stabilization training group. The results of the present study suggest that slackline training offers similar – or better – improvements in neuromuscular control as the FIFA 11+ warm-up programme. If compliance with the FIFA 11+ programme is declining, then slacklining might offer an alternative approach to reach the training goals of improved sensorimotor control.
