Comparison of Effects of High-Intensity Interval Training and Continuous Training on Memory and Correlation with Antioxidant Enzyme Activity in the Rat Brain

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effects of six-week continuous training (CT) and high-intensity interval (HIIT) protocols on brain superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPX) activities their associations with short-, mid-, long-term memory in albino Wistar rats. Methods: In this study, 18 male rats (5 months old) were randomly assigned three equal (n = 6) groups sedentary control (SC), CT, HIIT. Both CT HIIT regimens performed for 6 consecutive days per week weeks. Results: increased memory, alterations greater following than CT. addition, both significantly SOD activity, a higher elevation Moreover, activity positively correlated memory. However, neither nor had significant effect GPX CAT activities. Conclusions: The regimen is highly potential, as opposed regimen, improve function through increase brain.
