高强度间歇训练改善认知功能及其机制研究进展

高强度间歇训练(high-intensity interval training,HIIT)已被证明是一种省时、高效的运动策略。与传统的中、低强度有氧运动相比,它可以提供类似甚至更好的健康效益。近年来一些研究表明,HIIT可作为一种有前途的运动康复疗法来改善肥胖、糖尿病、中风、痴呆等疾病引起的认知功能受损。因此,本文综述了HIIT通过促进脑源性神经营养因子分泌、改善氧化应激和增强线粒体适应能力、增加脑乳酸水平及利用率等机制改善认知功能的研究进展,为其预防和/或改善疾病引起的认知功能受损及推广应用提供参考和理论依据。

Research advances on high-intensity interval training and cognitive function

High-intensity interval training(HIIT)has proven to be a time-saving and efficient exercise strategy.Compared with traditional aerobic exercise,it can provide similar or even better health benefits.In recent years,a number of studies have suggested that HIIT could be used as a potential exercise rehabilitation therapy to improve cognitive impairment caused by obesity,diabetes,stroke,dementia and other diseases.HIIT may be superior to regular aerobic exercise.This article reviews the recent research progress on HIIT with a focus on its beneficial effect on brain cognitive function and the underlying mechanisms.HIIT may become an effective exercise for the prevention and/or improvement of brain cognitive disorder.
