Zusammenfassung
Objective: We aim to investigate the effects of different exercise intensities and volumes on Phlegm-dampness constitution (PDC). Methods: The rats were fed with high-fat food and lived in 75%–85% humidity for 6 weeks to establish the model of PDC. Then PDC rats were screened and intervened by varying exercise intensities for 8 weeks. Weight, constitution scores, blood and liver tissues were collected to detect the concentration of serum total cholesterol (Tch), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), homocysteine (Hcy), blood glucose (GLU), alanine transaminase (ALT) and percentage of lipid droplet area in liver tissue (PLDA). Results: The weight, Tch, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C, Hcy, GLU, and ALT of rats in moderate-intensity exercise group returned to normal. The rats with high-intensity or low-intensity exercise did not recover as well as moderate-intensity. Conclusion: Different exercise intensities and volumes have different effects on PDC, moderate-intensity exercise over an 8-week intervention is most appropriate.
