Background: Aging is accompanied by a gradual weakening of heart function, which can lead to an increase in the risk of cardiovascular diseases. HIIT, as a potent exercise intervention, seems to benefit heart function and mitochondrial health in elderly groups.
Methods: The present research is of an experimental type, conducted with 12 20-month-old Wistar male rats with an average weight of 400 ± 30 grams. The inclusion criteria were male rats aged 20 months and older, which were randomly divided into two HIIT and control groups (6 rats in each group). During the research, the control group had no activity, and the training group ran on the treadmill for eight weeks and five sessions weekly. The HIIT program was performed with high-intensity bouts of 85-95% of maximum speed (m/min) and active rest periods with an intensity of 40-55% of maximum speed (m/min) for each session per week. After 48 hours following the last training session, the rats were anesthetized, and the variables were measured using the western blot method. The data were analyzed through Shapiro-Wilk and independent t-test, and the significance level was considered P ≥ 0.05.
Findings: The results showed that eight weeks of HIIT caused a significant increase in DRP1 in the hearts of old rats, while it did not significantly change the content of OPA1 protein.
Conclusion: HIIT protocol seems to improve mitochondrial quality control in the heart of aged rats.
