The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of endurance training prior to occurrence of muscle atrophy on the mass, myofibrillar protein content and fiber crossectional area of atrophied hindlimb muscles of rats. Adult female Wistar rats were trained prior to occurrence of muscle atrophy induced by hindlimb suspension. Training began on the 1st day for 10min /day at 15m /min on a 0% grade, training exercise increased daily in time and intensity so that by the 4th week rats were running 60min /day, at 34m /min on a i3.5% grade. Wet weight and relative weight of soleus, plantaris and gastrocnemius muscle decreased significantly after seven days of hindlimb suspension. Wet weight and relative weight of soleus tended to increase and that of plantaris and gastrocnemius tended to decrease in the exercise group as compared to the control group. Myofibrillar protein content of soleus and gastrocnemius tended to increase and that of plantaris tended to decrease in the endurance trained group as compared to the control group. Fiber crossectional area of Type I, II fiber in soleus and plantaris muscle tended to increase in the exercise group as compared to the control group. Wet weight and relative weight of soleus. plantaris and gastrocnemius decreased significantly, myofibrillar protein content of soleus, plantaris and gastrocnemius increased in hindlimb suspended rats following endurance training as compared to the control group. There was no change in fiber type percentage and crossectional area of type I and II fiber in soleus muscle and that of type I and IIfiber in plantaris muscle decreased in the hindlimb suspended rats following endurance training as compared to the control group. Wet weight and relative weight of soleus and plantaris tended to increase, that of gastrocnemius increased significantly, myofibrillar protein content of soleus and plantaris muscle increased significantly and that of gastrocnemius tended to increase in the hindlimb suspended rats following endurance training as compared to sedentary rats following endurance training. Crossectional area of type I fiber of soleus muscle tended to increase. that of type I fiber of plantaris muscle increased significantly and that of type II fiber tended to increase in hindlimb suspended rats following endurance training as compared to sedentary rats following endurance training. The results suggest that endurance training prior to occurrence of muscle atrophy can attenuate the decrease of mass, myofibrillar protein content and fiber crossectional area induced by hindlimb suspension.

본 연구의 목적은 장기간의 지구성 운동 또는 저항성 운동이 중년 흰쥐의 골격근 내 단백질 합성과 분해에 미치는 영향을 규명하는 것이다. 50 주령의 male Wistar rat 30 마리를 이용하여 3집단(좌업, 지구성 운동집단, 저항성 운동집단)으로 무선배정한 후 12 주간 처치를 실시하였다. 연구결과 12주간의 저항성운동은 중년 쥐의 족저근 내 Akt/mTOR 신호전달체계를 활성화시켰고, FoxO1/MuRF1 단백질 발현을 저해하였다. 지구성 운동은 mTOR 신호전달체계에는 영향을 미치지 않았으나 FoxO1/MuRF1 단백질 발현을 저해하였고, AMPK/PGC-1α 발현을 증가시켰다. 요약하면 12주간의 운동트레이닝은 중년 흰쥐의 골격근 내 단백질 동화/이화반응에 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤으며, 지구성 운동은 근단백질 이화반응의 저해를 통해서 노화근육의 단백질 균형에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 통해서 근 손실에 따른 근 기능의 저하가 가시화되기 시작하는 중년을 대상으로 실시되는 운동처방 시 근 감소증 예방 및 치료를 위해 저항성 운동만이 아니라 중강도 이상의 지구성 운동도 유효할 것으로 생각된다.

미토콘드리아의 항상성은 미토콘드리아 생합성과 마이토파지(자가포식에 의한 미토콘드리아 분해)로 불리는 2가지 주요 과정들에 의해 정교하게 조절되고 있다. 지구성 운동 훈련에 반응하여 골격근에서 미토콘드리아 생합성에 관한 기전들은 잘 정립되어 있는 반면 지구성 운동 훈련 후 골격근의 마이토파지 조절 기전과 마이토파지와 미토콘드리아 생합성의 협응을 조절하는 기전은 아직 명확히 밝혀져 있지 않다. 최근 연구들에 의하면 지구성 운동 훈련은 골격근에서 미토콘드리아 생합성, 미토콘드리아 역동성, 미토콘드리아 분해와 관련된 유전인자들의 발현을 증가시킨다고 하였다. 하지만 골격근에서 자가포식이 억제되었을 경우, 지구성 운동 훈련에 의한 미토콘드리아 생합성과 관련된 지표들인 Cox IV와 citrate synthase의 증가는 상쇄되었다. 따라서 자가포식과 마이토파지는 골격근의 미토콘드리아 생합성에 중요한 역할을 하며 정반대되는 이 두 과정(이화 또는 동화작용)의 협응 과정이 지구성 운동 훈련에 반응하여 대사적 기능과 지구력 운동 수행능력을 향상시키는 것과 같은 골격근의 적응에 중요한 듯하다. 지구성 운동은 미토콘드리아의 일정한 숫자를 유지시키기 위해 미토콘드리아 생합성, 미토콘드리아의 융합과 분열, 자가포식/마이토 파지들의 각각의 과정들을 조절하는 것으로 여겨진다. 지구성 운동 훈련은 골격근에서 마이토파지를 활성화시켜 미토콘드리아 양과 질을 조절하여 늙고 건강하지 않은 미토콘드리아를 젊고 건강한 미토콘드리아로 교체시킬 수 있다. 이 총론에서 미토콘드리아 생합성과 마이토파지의 분자학적 기전과 서로 상반되는 이 두 과정간의 협응이 골격근의 지구성 훈련에 대한 세포적 적응에 관련한다는 내용이 논의될 것이다.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to assess the effects of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) training and respiratory muscle endurance training on pulmonary function and activity in chronic stroke patients. Methods: The participants were 25 chronic stroke patients. They were assigned to two groups: a PNF and respiratory muscle training group (experimental group; n = 12) and a conservative training group (control group; n = 13). The experimental group completed 50 minutes (30 minutes of conventional physical therapy, 10 minutes of PNF training, and 10 minutes of respiratory muscle endurance training). The control group also completed 50 minutes (30 minutes of conventional physical therapy and 20 minutes on a full-body workout machine). Pulmonary function and activity were measured before and after the intervention, using Cosmed to analyze pulmonary function and 6MWT as clinical evaluation indicators. Results: Both groups showed significant within-group differences on all tests before and after the intervention; the experimental group showed greater improvement on all tests. Conclusion: The findings confirm that PNF training and respiratory muscle endurance training have a positive effect on pulmonary function and activity index in chronic stroke patients.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of endurance training and prolonged L-arginine supplementation on blood glucose, blood insulin, muscle glycogen, muscle glycogen synthase (GS), muscle nitric oxide (NO), muscle nitric oxide synthase (NOS), endurance performance. We equally divided 36 Sprague-Dawley mice to be distributed into control group, L-NMMA treated group and L-arginine treated group. The L-arginine treated group and L-NMMA treated group consumed 10 mg/kg/day of L-arginine and 5 mg/kg/day of L-NMMA for 6 weeks period. Mice of control group, L-arginine treated group, and L-NMMA treated groups performed swimming exercise training for 60 min once a day, 5 days per week for 6 weeks. Blood glucose had tendency to increase in L-arginine treated group than the control group, and insulin significantly increased in L-arginine treated group than the control group. L-arginine treated group showed significant increase in glycogen, GS, NO and NOS in the gastrocnemius muscle and soleus muscle compared to the control group. Whereas L-NMMA treated group showed the lowest glycogen, GS, NO and NOS in the gastrocnemius muscle and soleus muscle compared to control group and L-arginine treated group. Exhaustive swimming time had tendency to increase in L-arginine treated group compared to the value for control group. These reults indicate that endurance training and prolonged L-arginine supplementation appear to be effective in exhancing nitric oxide production, glycogen concentration and endurance performance.

[Purpose] We conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the effects of Taekwondo training on the physical fitness factors in Korean elementary students comprehensively and quantitatively. [Methods] We classified research studies published until November 2018 according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines and selected a total of 17 research items; a meta-analysis of these items was then conducted. We used the Comprehensive Meta-Analysis 3.0 and Review Manager 5.3 to analyze the mean effect size, study quality, and publication bias. [Results] Taekwondo training improved the cardiopulmonary endurance, muscle endurance, and power of the elementary students, but was not practical or less useful on other physical fitness factors. The meta-regression analysis of the cardiopulmonary endurance and power items showed that the effect size was large when the sample size was small. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the sample size in interpreting the effect size for these two items. Further, during correction of the publication bias for the power items, the improvement effect by Taekwondo training was eliminated. [Conclusion] Taekwondo training is helpful for improving the cardiopulmonary endurance and muscle endurance of Korean elementary students but is not useful for other physical fitness factors.

This study assessed the amount of energy consumed and fat deposition after endurance training in order to review the effect of 4-week endurance exercise on resting metabolic rate of a mouse during and after exercise and the effect of exercise. A total of 19 seven-week-old ICR male mice were used as the study subject. Those mice were divided into sedentary group (Sed) and trained group (Tr) after a week of environment adaption. The Tr group was trained with endurance exercise five times a week for four weeks. Weight and the amount of food intake were daily weighed and resting metabolic rate and metabolic rate after exercise were assessed before starting exercise and on the fourth week after training. Metabolic rate during exercise were measured four weeks after training. At the end of breeding period, statistically significant difference was shown in weights of trained and sedentary groups (p < 0.05). During a resting period, no significant difference was shown in oxygen intake, respiratory exchange ratio, and the amount of carbohydrate and fat oxidized. Moreover, no significant difference was shown in excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) of an hour period after training. In contrast, the maximal oxygen uptake (VO₂ max) was approximately 11.1% higher in trained group after training compare to before. However, there was no significant difference in respiratory exchange ratio and carbohydrate and fat oxidization. During exercise, oxygen uptake, carbon dioxide production, and respiratory exchange ratio in energy metabolism during exercise showed no significant difference. However, significant difference was exhibited in the amount of fat oxidized in both groups. Summing up those results, endurance exercise could be concluded to be effective in weight control. However, weight loss is thought to be resulted from increase in fat oxidization during exercise unlike the conclusion made from previous studies where weight loss is prominently influenced by energy metabolism during a resting period and increased fat oxidation during post-exercise recovery. All experimental procedures were carried out at the Animal Experiment Research Center of Konkuk University. This study was conducted in accordance with the ethical guidelines of the Konkuk University Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee.
