Background and Purpose; Sarcopenia is a progressive and generalized skeletal muscle disorder that involves rapid loss of muscle mass and function. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of continuous aerobic exercise on sarcopenia, changes in myofibrils in skeletal muscle and exercise performance in elderly rats with Alzheimer's disease, to investigate the effect of physical activity on reducing sarcopenia and changes in myofibrils in skeletal muscle and exercise performance in elderly rats with Alzheimer's should be measured.
Materials and Methods; In the present study, 40 aged Wistar rats with an average weight of 300 grams. The rats were randomly divided into four ten groups including control patient, training patient, healthy control, healthy training. The exercise group participated in a six-week continuous aerobic exercise program. The patient group was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease by intraperitoneal injection of scopolamine for 14 days, and after ensuring the induction of Alzheimer's disease using the novel object recognition test, the training group participated in a six-week continuous aerobic training program.
Results; Based on the results after six weeks of continuous aerobic training, according to the measurement of the tissue components in the soleus and EDL muscles of the healthy group of rats under training, it showed a slight increase in the extent of the tissue parenchyma and the diameter of the muscle fibers compared to the healthy control group, but these changes were not significant. The quantification of the extent of the tissue components in the soleus and EDL muscles of the studied rats showed a significant decrease in the muscle parenchyma and also a significant decrease in the average diameter of the muscle fibers in the patient group compared to the healthy control group (p<0.01). The area of the muscle parenchyma and the average diameter of the soleus and EDL muscle fibers in the mice of the patient group under training compared to the mice of the patient group showed a significant increase in tissue (p<0.05) and the amount of tissue edema and the presence of connective tissue showed a significant decrease (p<0.01 and p<0.05).
Conclusion: According to the findings, it seems that sports activities have positive effects on sarcopenia disease and myofibril changes, as well as the sports performance of rats with Alzheimer's disease.
