[Effects of endurance moderate physical training on basal metabolism of young adult rats].
In order to clarify the conclusion that the change of basal metabolism affected by physical training, effect of endurance training for 8 weeks on basal metabolism of young adult rats were investigated. Results are as follows. Endurance training increased significantly running ability of rats, for instance the running time at a speed of 25 m/min on the control and training groups were 53.7 +/- 18.8 min, 232.8 +/- 32.8 min, respectively. The ratio of soleus's weight to the body weight in trained rats was high significantly (p less than 0.05). The glycogen contents of trained rats under the condition of feeding have higher than the control rats. Especially, glycogen contents of the soleus and red-gastrocnemius significant increased (p less than 0.05), and liver glycogen content under the same condition increased significantly (p less than 0.02). The oxygen consumption in trained rats increased significantly compared with control rats (p less than 0.03). The basal metabolism of trained rats showed 1.24-fold increase compared with those of control (p less than 0.02). Oxygen consumption of sliced ventricle in trained rats increased significantly (p less than 0.03), it's rate was 118% of control. However those of other tissues did not change significantly.
