The aim of this study was to determine the effect of continues and high-intensity training (HIIT) on cTnT and cTnI gene expression in the cardiac tissue of male Wistar rats. Materials and methods: In this experimental study, 18 Wistar rats with body weight average 263±12 gr were studied for eight weeks in three groups: control, continuous endurance training (CET) (five sessions per week at 70% max speed) and HIIT (three sessions per week at intensity of 90 to 110% max speed) under standard conditions. Expression of cTnT and cTnI genes were assessed by Real time-PCR and the quantification of expression levels was analyzed by the 2-ΔΔct formula and one-way ANOVA statistical method with the significance level of p≤0.05. Results: There were significant differences in the mean expression of cTnT between control group and both CET (p=0.001) and HIT (p=0.001) groups. The expression of cTnT was higher in HIIT than endurance training group (p=0.021). The results also showed that there was no significant difference in the mean of cTnI expression between different groups (p=0.523). Conclusion: According to the findings, it seems that eight weeks of HIIT and CET can decrease the expression of cTnT which could be a result of reduction of hemodynamic and physiological pressures on the heart. These changes may be accompanied by reduction of heart damage. CP - IRAN IN - Payame Noor University, Karaj LG - eng PB - ابهاد-نهاجا PG - 4 PT - Original YR - 2018
