Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Overtraining is a series of functional disorder or pathological state induced by continuous fatigue accumulation because exercise load and body function are incommensurate to each other. At present, commonly used methods for establishing rat models of overtraining included treadmil , swimming and climbing rod, but treadmil is comparatively accepted in the world.
OBJECTIVE:To establish the standard of overtraining rat model and to implement objective of model establishment by dynamical y monitoring biochemical indexes and observing behavioral changes.
METHODS:A total of 16 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to model and blank control groups. The model group received movement training according to the plan. After adaptable feeding, training was performed, 6 days every week, with a rest of 1 day. Increasing intensity on treadmil was used. From the first week of training, the speed, gradient and running time were gradual y increased. However, the blank control group was conventional y fed, without any training.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Behavior changes of the training rats were arisen after five weeks. Serum creatine kinase levels increased continuously in training process, and higher than basic levels at 5 weeks (P<0.01). Serum urea nitrogen levels persistently increased, and higher than basic levels at 3 weeks (P<0.05). Hemoglobin and serum testosterone levels increased and then decreased, and significantly lower than basic levels at 8 weeks (P<0.05). Behavioral y, overtraining appeared. Simultaneously, hemoglobin and serum testosterone levels were significantly lower than basic levels. Serum creatine kinase and serum urea nitrogen levels were significantly higher than basic levels. These results indicated that the body was in overtraining state. The standard of overtraining rat model was established in this study. The overtraining rat model was established according to the training program when the training was lasted for 8 weeks, the training speed was 30 m/min;every training time was 110 minutes, and the gradient was 15°.
