Article Synopsis
- High Intensity Training (HIT) in older rats was found to improve key health metrics, including oxygen uptake and muscle function, after just 16 short sessions over 8 weeks.
- The study showed that a short acceleration protocol enhanced performance metrics like running distance and speed, as well as cardiac function in the aging rats.
- Results indicate that this type of training may provide significant benefits for various groups, including athletes, the elderly, and those with chronic diseases, potentially enhancing their overall strength and quality of life.
In the field of comparative physiology, it remains to be established whether the concept of VO2max is valid in the mouse and, if so, how this value can be accurately determined. In humans, VO2max is generally considered to correspond to the plateau observed when VO2 no longer rises with an increase in workload. In contrast, the concept of VO2peak tends to be used in murine studies.
