Effect of different running protocols on bone morphology and microarchitecture of the forelimbs in a male Wistar rat model.

ABSTRACT:

Background

It is accepted that the metabolic response of bone tissue depends on the intensity of the mechanical loads, but also on the type and frequency of stress applied to it. Physical exercise such as running involves stresses which, under certain conditions, have been shown to have the best osteogenic effects. However, at high intensity, it can be deleterious for bone tissue. Consequently, there is no clear consensus as to which running modality would have the best osteogenic effects.

Aim

Our objective was to compare the effects of three running modalities on morphological and micro-architectural parameters on forelimb bones.

Methods

Forty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups: high intensity interval training (HIIT), continuous running, combine
