The Effect of the Period of the Intermittent Aerobic Training on hs-CRP in the Old Rats

The Purpose of the present study was to determine the effect of a period of the intermittent aerobic training on high- sensitive C - reactive protein (hs- CRP) in the old, female rats with strain of 14 wistar (325.6± 4.93 gram and old-21.5 months). For this aim, 64 rats were prepared for the pilot study and main study. In first, the pilot study was performed to determine the difference of hs- CRP in obese and thin or old and young rats. Then, the main study was performed on the obese old rats that were divided into subgroups randomly, including pretest, mid test and posttest (control and training). The training protocol was performed for the duration of 12 weeks, 5 days in a week, 2 to 4 sets, and with definite speed and duration. The blood samples were measured in many phases while they were fasting including, the baseline level, mid test and posttest. The data was analyzed via repeated measures and least significant difference (LSD) and T-student tests. The results showed that hs-CRP levels decreased insignificantly (Ps 0/351) during the first six weeks and decreased significantly (P= 0/001) after 12 weeks. Generally, the according to these findings basically we can say that the intermittent aerobic training has on hs-CRP.
