| Abstract |
This study was to investigate the effects of resistance exercise on the acetylcholine and epinephrine concentration, and memory capability in F344 rat’s brain. The rats were divided into three groups (n = 8 in each group): control group, load resistance exercise, and non-load resistance exercise. Rats in resistance exercise groups performed training that climbed the ladder for 12 weeks (5 days/week, 8 reps/day). The statistical differences on the result were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and repeated measures ANOVA. Resistance exercise groups significant increased concentration on acetylcholine and epinephrine, and memory capability compared to the control group (p<.05). Here in this study, we suggested that increase of acetylcholine and epinephrine concentration may be involved in the enhancement of memory capability on the resistance exercise. |
