- Abstract
Simple Summary: Spinal Cord Injury is a devastating condition that compromises the individual's health, quality of life and functional independence. Rats submitted to Spinal Cord Injury were evaluated after four weeks of resistance training. Analyses of levels of muscle damage and oxidative stress surgery were performed. Resistance training demonstrated increase antioxidative activity while decreased oxidative damage in injured rats, in addition to having presented changes in the levels of muscle damage in that same group. The results highlight that resistance training promoted a decrease in oxidative stress and a significant response in muscle damage markers. Background: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a condition that affects the central nervous system, is characterized by motor and sensory impairments, and impacts individuals' lives. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of resistance training on oxidative stress and muscle damage in spinal cord injured rats. Methodology: Forty Wistar rats were selected and divided equally into five groups: Healthy Control (CON), Sham (SHAM) SCI Untrained group (SCI-U), SCI Trained group (SCI- T), SCI Active Trained group (SCI- AT). Animals in the trained groups were submitted to an incomplete SCI at T9. Thereafter, they performed a protocol of resistance training for four weeks. Results: Significant differences in muscle damage markers and oxidative stress in the trained groups, mainly in SCI- AT, were found. On the other hand, SCI- U group presented higher levels of oxidative stress and biomarkers of LDH and AST. Conclusion: The results highlight that resistance training promoted a decrease in oxidative stress and a significative response in muscle damage markers.
