Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 6-week Incremental Interval Training (IIT) on the levels of lung HIF-1α in the maturing rat. In this study, to assess the effect of two period IIT on lung HIF-1α protein, 30 Newborn three-week old male Wistar rats (68±9 g) after one week familiarization were randomly divided into basic, IIT and control groups. Interval training program for IIT group was performed with 10 reps 1-minute and 2-minute active rest for 6 weeks. Measurement of HIF-1α was performed by ELISA kits. The results of this study showed that IIT significantly Decreased body weight and lung weight of rats were 17/8 and 42/02 percent respectively as compared with the control group. Also significantly increased (P
