- Abstract
High-intensity interval training (HIIT) reportedly enhances the functional properties of the musculoskeletal system. However, the effects of HIIT on tendons remain unclear. Sixteen male rats were randomly assigned to the control (Con) or HIIT group (n = 8 in each group). Rats in the HIIT group executed the HIIT program consisting of 2.5 min treadmill running and 4.5 min rests between the bouts, 5 days per week for 9 weeks. Running speed, number of sets, and inclination were incrementally increased during the training period. Histological analysis revealed no apparent morphological changes in the extracellular matrix structure or nuclei of tenocytes between the groups. Real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction analysis revealed that Igf1Ea mRNA expression was enhanced in the HIIT group. Furthermore, Igfbp5 mRNA expression tended to be higher in the HIIT group. The 9-week HIIT program enhanced tenogenic Igf1Ea mRNA expression.
